Walking through the city of Avignon is an experience in and of itself, with narrow alleyways leading to big open squares, stunning architecture everywhere you look, and little cafes nestled along small streets. You have to see the Palais des Papes during your visit — an enormous structure and one of France’s most famous and valuable historical buildings. The Pont Saint-Benezet was the bridge that linked the Papal Territory with the rest of France, and while only a portion of the bridge remains today, it's still a sight to see. In the main square, you'll find Place de l’Horloge, a neoclassical city hall building, and a beautifully crafted carousel for kids. Lastly, consider taking a ride on the Petit Train to get great views of the entire city.
