Cycle de visites guidées Avignon intra-muros 

The historic heart of Avignon holds countless architectural and artistic treasures: palaces, churches, private mansions, and museums. But there is also history itself, the history of the powerful, the inhabitants, the artisans, the women and men who shaped the image of our city. The facades, the street names, the dedications, certain traces on the walls tell the story of the city's neighborhoods, from La Banasterie to Les Teinturiers, from Les Carmes to Vernet, from Les Fusteries to Raspail.

– Saturday, September 26 at 14:30 p.m.: Vernet district
Embark on a journey of (re)discovery in the Joseph Vernet district. This tour invites you to see the neighborhood with fresh eyes. The district extends far beyond Joseph Vernet Street itself. You've surely heard of Bouquerie Street, the private mansions, or the Calvet Museum. But do you know the origins of these street names, who owned these mansions, and what went on in this neighborhood? Who were the guests of these mansions? That's what you'll discover. This tour will inspire you to stroll through this part of the city more often.
Departure: Tourist Office – 41 Cours Jean Jaurès

– Saturday, October 3 at 14:30 p.m.: Fusterie district, where the river gives way to the city 
Limas, Fustiers, Rue des Grottes… what do these names conceal? Once the bed of the Rhône, this area, originally covered in silt and mud, became the quarter of carpenters in the Middle Ages, established between the Pont Saint Bénézet and the Church of Saint Agricol. Illustrious Avignon families built their residences here, famous figures lived here, and institutions established their headquarters here. Let's journey back in time together, from Roman Antiquity to one of the most famous French nursery rhymes, from the boatmen to the Montgolfier balloonists. 
Starting point: in front of the Sant-Bénezet bridge

– Saturday, October 24 at 14:30 p.m.: Teinturiers district
"Come and discover the multifaceted history of the Teinturiers district along the Sorgue River. From the establishment of dyers and silk manufacturers in the Middle Ages, to the role of the Cordeliers bell tower during the French Revolution, and even the mysterious number 4 house, this canal-side stroll will offer a fresh perspective on one of Avignon's most picturesque neighborhoods. Immerse yourself, with your guide, in exploring the Rue des Teinturiers and its surroundings."

– Saturday, November 7 at 14:30 p.m.: Raspail district
An elegant thoroughfare shaded by tall plane trees, Boulevard Raspail, created at the beginning of the 20th century, symbolizes the urban renewal of the old town. But it is also a line drawn from the heart of the city to the ramparts, traversing the ages. A place of pleasure, culture, and faith, where theaters, convents, and museums stand side by side, let's explore this central yet off-the-beaten-path district together.

– Saturday, November 14 at 14:30 p.m.: Banasterie district, on the steps of the Palace
This long, winding street, nestled at the foot of the Rocher des Doms, connects Saint Pierre to the ramparts and the Rhône River, and has had a multifaceted history. First a neighborhood of artisans, then a favorite haunt of the aristocracy with its numerous private mansions, the Banasterie district offers an exceptional portrait of the city and some of its inhabitants. Between the Sainte Anne prison and the former pawnshop, from the Petite Saunerie to the Pénitents Noirs, let's delve into its grand and intimate history.
Departure: Palace Square 

– Saturday, November 28 at 14:30 p.m.: Carmes/University district
Although the University of Avignon was founded in 1303, it is only recently that it has occupied the former Sainte-Marthe Hospital. As the Revolution brought an end to the presence of the Legates, the Carmes district became the beating heart of the reforms. While the Carreterie throbbed with the rhythm of the blacksmiths' workshops, the Rue des Infirmières welcomed the Italian community. What other district of Avignon offers as much diversity as the Carmes, a triangle bounded by the Saint-Lazare rampart and the Carreterie, which has seen cardinals, kings, saints, and lepers pass through its gates?
Starting point: Place des Carmes in front of the church
