AVIGNON FRANCE

A stroll through the streets of Avignon is to walk through history.  The city, located high above the Rhône River, is filled with cobblestone streets and ancient culture.  Visiting the massive Popes Palace will underscore the importance of Avignon as the center of Christianity during the Middle Ages.  Linger on the famous Saint Bénezet Bridge and marvel at what remains of this 12th century structure. A visit to the area would be incomplete without experiencing Châteauneuf du Pape, home to more than 80 vineyards. Let ShoreTrips' private excursion, "In and Around Avignon" show you how special Avignon really is.
