Avignon Tourist Office

Avignon, for some time capital of Christendom in the Middle Ages, retains the indelible mark of its grandiose destiny: the Palais des Papes (Palace of the Popes), the Saint-Benezet brigde, called the « pont d’Avignon » of worldwide fame through its commemoration by the song, and the ramparts constitute an exceptional complex of monuments listed by UNESCO as World Heritage sites.

In addition dozens of churches and chapels, all remains of a past rich in history give the city its unique atmosphere.
