The view of Avignon across the Rhône is a good spot for a photo.

Avignon city centre itself is quite nice, I recommend passing through during a bike ride, it's worth it!

nice little tunnel on an old railway line

Avignon's old town impresses with its narrow streets, historic squares, and the imposing Papal Palace. The completely preserved 14th-century city walls can be walked on in sections. Visitors can enjoy picturesque views of the Rhône River via the famous Pont Saint-Bénézet. Museums such as the Musée du Petit Palais display medieval art right in the historic center.

The Place de l'Horloge is Avignon's central square, home to the magnificent Town Hall and the Opera House. Historic cafés and restaurants with views of the clock towers stand here. Numerous street performers and weekly markets enliven the square daily. From here, the Papal Palace and the Pont Saint-Bénézet are just a few minutes away.

The Pont Saint-Bénézet in Avignon dates back to the 12th century and still towers over four of its original 22 arches. Visitors can walk through the remains of the bridge and view the historic bridge houses. The bridge offers a unique view of the Rhône and Avignon's old town. It is closely linked to the well-known children's song "Sur le Pont d'Avignon" and the city's medieval history.

The Papal Palace (Palais des Papes) dominates Avignon and is one of the largest Gothic buildings in Europe. The Pont Saint-Bénézet, famous from the song "Sur le pont d'Avignon," offers historic architecture overlooking the Rhône. The Musée du Petit Palais displays works by Italian and Provençal masters. Narrow streets in the old town invite strolls among medieval houses and small squares.
