Avignon by private jet Estimated flight time from Paris : 1h10
Avignon, small in size but great in history! From its flamboyant past as the Capital of Christendom, Avignon has preserved exceptional heritage, much of which is listed as UNESCO World Heritage.
Here are our recommendations to discover and explore all the secrets of this sun-drenched city!
A walled city
“Intra Muros.” This is how the locals refer to life inside the city walls. Stretching 4.3 km, these walls were designed to repel attackers and also protect the inhabitants from the Rhône’s floods. Classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the walls still encircle the old town today, giving it a timeless and privileged atmosphere.
The most beautiful basilica in France
With its golden lead Virgin reaching towards the sky, majestic and overlooking the Rhône Valley from the Rocher des Doms, the Basilica of Notre-Dame des Doms will leave you in awe.
The famous Avignon Bridge
The Saint Benezet Bridge, better known as the “Pont d’Avignon,” is a true technical feat! Built starting in the 12th century, it once connected both banks of the Rhône and today only four of the original 22 arches remain. This architectural oddity inspires numerous questions and fanciful interpretations!
A festive city
The Avignon Festival, known worldwide, transforms the city into a living theatre for several weeks. Feel the rhythm of hundreds of plays happening throughout the city! Music is also highlighted: whether you enjoy electronic, jazz, baroque, or gospel, there is a festival for you! And don’t forget the local producers’ market, with local products and wines, as well as the Provençal markets open up to five days a week! Avignon offers enough events to delight your eyes, ears, and taste buds!
The largest Gothic palace in the world
The monumental residence of the papal sovereigns, symbolizing the Church’s influence over 14th-century Western Christendom, welcomes over 560,000 visitors annually. The Palais des Papes is among the top 10 most visited monuments in France. Classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site, it covers over 15,000 m² of floor space. You can visit more than twenty locations, including the Pope’s private apartments with their fabulous fresco decorations by Italian artist Matteo Giovannetti.
