Avignon Self Guided City Tour of Popes, Poets and Assassins
Despre activitate
A shepherd boy walked out of the mountains, told Avignon that God wanted him to build a bridge across the Rhône, then lifted a boulder thirty men couldn't move to prove it. Seven hundred years ago, someone decided Rome was too dangerous to be pope in, and moved the entire headquarters of Western Christianity here.
This self-guided audio walking tour of Avignon tells its sharpest stories. Over roughly 4 km and 20 stops, played on your phone as you walk, you'll meet the pope who bought the city from a queen just tried for murder, a poet undone by one glance in a church, and a marshal a mob lynched over a lie.
Go at your own pace. No fixed start time, no group to keep up with, offline access, pause and resume whenever you like.
Over 25,000 travelers have used our self-guided tours, and this Avignon audio tour comes with a full refund guarantee. Bring headphones and start whenever you're ready.
