Explore Timeless Avignon Landmarks

Step into a remarkable story of religious power and architectural splendor at Avignon’s two signature sites. The Palace of the Popes towers above the city with its immense Gothic structure and served as the residence of nine popes during the 14th century. This ticket combines your exploration of the palace’s historic halls with a visit to the legendary Pont d’Avignon, a bridge that has inspired legends and song. Discover both places at your own pace and immerse yourself in the centuries-old past of Avignon.

A Grand Papal Palace

Once the seat of Western Christianity, the Palace of the Popes is among Europe’s largest and most important medieval buildings. As you step inside, you’ll traverse majestic corridors, ceremonial rooms, and elaborately decorated private chapels. Your included Histopad guide brings these spaces to life with engaging stories, historical reconstructions, and interactive features available in several languages.

The Legendary Bridge

The Pont d’Avignon, formally known as Pont Saint-Bénézet, stretches partly across the River Rhône. For centuries it was Avignon’s key crossing, and its partial ruins are a powerful symbol of the city. Stand atop the bridge for panoramic views over Avignon and imagine the events that shaped its fame in song and folklore. Uncover how the bridge and palace connect in Avignon’s heritage.

Gardens and Modern Discoveries

Should you select garden access, enjoy a tranquil stroll through the palace’s lush greenery, surrounded by centuries-old walls. The gardens offer an escape from the city streets and a new perspective on the scale and beauty of the palace complex.
