A la découverte du Palais des Papes et du Pont Saint-Bénezet

Départ : Palais des Papes place du Palais des Papes 84000 Avignon

Guided and / or commented visit

Avignon, capital of the papacy, European capital of Culture, has its two emblematic monuments, the Palace of the Popes and the Saint Bénezet Bridge, classified since 1995 by UNESCO.

Step inside the world's largest Gothic palace to discover its fascinating history and priceless painted decorations. How can we explain the presence of the papacy in Avignon? Why such an immense palace?   
Then walk with us across the famous Broken Bridge, known internationally thanks to the song. But do you really know its story? Under what circumstances did it break? Why was it never rebuilt? Did people actually dance on the bridge?
Dive with us into the rich past of the Vaucluse city to meet the popes, Bénezet, but also Jean Vilar, the Swiss Guards and so many others.
