Avignon's Pont St-Bénézet is immortalized in the famous song Sur le Pont d'Avignon, but there's more to Avignon than this bridge alone. Its Palais des Papes is the biggest existing Gothic palace in the world and the Palais, the bridge and its massive ramparts are all Unesco World Heritage sites.
There's a lot to see and do in this fascinating town, making Avignon a great holiday destination. And if you're here in July, you'll be treated to endless entertainment, food and wine at the Festival d'Avignon which runs for three weeks. Read more on our Travel to Avignon Here.
