Itinerary

Stop 1

Passing by

This vast cobblestone square unfolds beneath the towering Gothic fortress that once housed the Popes of the 14th century. Even from the outside, it stuns with medieval drama and scale.
Cathedrale Notre-Dame des Doms

Passing by

Right beside the palace, this Romanesque cathedral has stood watch for nearly 1,000 years. The golden Virgin atop the dome is one of the city’s emblems.
Stop 3

Passing by

A beautifully landscaped park with winding paths, duck ponds, and cliffside views over the Rhône, Mont Ventoux, and the Pont d’Avignon below.
Pont Saint-Benezet

Passing by

You don’t need to pay to visit the bridge—its best view is from the ramparts or riverbank, where its truncated span across the Rhône becomes a symbol of legend and loss.
Stop 5

Passing by

A quieter, shaded square near a 14th-century church, filled with terrace cafés. It’s slightly off the tourist trail, making it a favorite with locals who want a slower pace.
