    Avignon, the center of Provence, is to French history what the Vatican City is to Rome. Situated on the bank of the River Rh\u00f4ne, it looks and feels like the setting of a medieval fairy tale. It is famous for the 14th-century seat of the Papacy and its 12-century-old bridge. Recognized for its religious architecture and historic value, the core of Avignon was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city has a lot to offer beyond history. You will be delighted by the gorgeous views of the river Rhone and the abundance of taverns, caf\u00e9s, and restaurants. As you meander through the streets of Avignon, you will be intrigued by the historic lanes, the courtyards, and the rebuilt fa\u00e7ades.<\/p>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tBook Now\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t

It bears two amazing labels: World Heritage by UNESCO and Grand Location of France. The discovery of the landmark monument was made on a protected site on more than a hundred hectares of scrubland and riverfront. As part of the entrance site, there are several places to learn about the history of the area. These include THE MUSEUM, a large center for learning about the history of aqueducts and Romanit, the LUDO space for children, THE CIN\u00c9, which shows a documentary film, and MEMORIES OF GARRIGUE, a 1.4 km course in the middle of the Mediterranean landscape that tells you everything you need to know about the scrubland.<\/p>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tBook Now\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t
