Avignon, France

Known as the City of the Popes, Avignon is rich in history and astounding medieval architecture but has a youthful energy to it with a buzzing arts scene. The former 14th-century papal capital is circled by city walls, home to the magnificent UNESCO World Heritage-listed Palais des Papes (Papal Palace), one of the largest surviving Gothic palaces in Europe, and the remaining four arches of the famous Pont d'Avignon bridge, which was once the only way to cross the Rhone between Lyon and the Mediterranean Sea. This afternoon is at your leisure to further explore Avignon at your own pace. If you're feeling energetic, wander up Le Rocher des Doms some 30 meters above the Rhone, which provides excellent views over the city and river, as well as a pretty English-style garden with shady trees, fountains, and ponds. ...
