Avignon, the central city of Provence in southern France, is a historic city that was once the seat of the Papacy✨
The huge Papal Palace (Palais des Papes) is an impressive scale, and walking through the stone corridors and chapels makes you feel like you've traveled back in time to the Middle Ages🕰️
The Saint-Bénézet Bridge (Avignon Bridge) over the Rhône River is also a romantic spot famous for its nursery rhymes🎶
Access is about 2 hours and 40 minutes from Paris by TGV🚄
From Avignon TGV station to the city, it's about 15 minutes by bus or taxi. You can easily get around the city on foot🚶♀️
The key to success is to "use the audio guide of the Papal Palace"🎧
Knowing the historical background and architectural secrets makes the tour many times more enjoyable.
In addition, a theater festival is held in the summer, and the entire city is filled with art, so it's also recommended during that time🎭
My impression of the trip is "a city where history and art come together."
While walking down the cobblestone alleys, I felt the moment when the past and present intersected.
On your next trip, be sure to experience the "age of the Popes" in Avignon 🌿
