Immerse yourself in Avignon's history with this walk through the streets of yesteryear, an immersive exploration of the city's old quarters and their hidden treasures.
Leaving the Tourist Office (1), head for the pleasantly green Square Agricol Perdiguier (2), then the lively Place des Corps Saints (3). Here you'll discover the Célestins church and cloister (4), two of the city's most important heritage sites. Continue along rue des Lices (5), before joining rue des Teinturiers (6), one of Avignon's most picturesque streets with its paddlewheels. Continue on to the chapelle des Cordeliers (7), then the chapelle des Pénitents gris (8). Your tour then takes you to the Maison du IV de Chiffre (9), a remarkable medieval residence, and the Hôtel de Montaigu (10). Then discover the Pommer Baths Museum (11) before reaching the Place Pignotte (12). Head for the Augustins convent (13), then the Saint-Symphorien church (14). Continue on to the Musée du Mont-de-Piété et de la Condition des Soies (15), before discovering the Hôtel Madon de Châteaublanc (16). Continue on to the Basilique Saint-Pierre (17), famous for its sculpted doors, and the Synagogue d'Avignon (18). Then stop off at Les Halles covered market (19), a landmark of local life. The itinerary continues to the Conservatoire du Grand Avignon (20), housed in a former cardinal's livery, then on to rue du Collège de la Croix (21), dotted with historic buildings. End your stroll at the Chapelle Sainte-Claire (22), the last stop on this tour of historic Avignon.
