Self-Guided Walking Tours in Avignon

1 free GPS audio walking route with expert narration.

Avignon was the seat of the popes in the 14th century, leaving behind the largest Gothic palace in Europe and a tightly walled old town that still feels medieval. Our self-guided GPS walking tours guide you through the Palais des Papes, the Place de l'Horloge, and the famous bridge of the children's song.

Expert audio narration explains the Avignon Papacy, the schism that split the Catholic Church, and the artistic patronage that turned a Provençal town into a European capital. You'll understand why Avignon's UNESCO old town is one of France's richest medieval ensembles.

Perfect for independent travelers, our GPS-based cultural heritage walks let you explore Avignon's ramparts and palace courts at your own pace, finding the quiet chapels and Provençal corners that day-trippers usually miss.
