Avignon Walking Holidays

Avignon was the seat of the papacy in the fourteenth century, and the Palais des Papes still dominates the walled city, with the broken Pont Saint-Benezet beside it. It is the obvious gateway to Provence: the Alpilles, the Luberon and the Cotes du Rhone vineyards all sit within an hour, and Roman Arles is close by. The July theatre festival fills the streets, and TGV trains reach Paris in under three hours.
