This urban walk is a true hike that goes for 10 kilometres. This walk enables you to discover Avignon from a different angle, and at your own pace. It takes in the entire city, from the most emblematic sites to hidden treasures unknown to the public-at-large.
Enjoy discovering local secrets and anecdotes as you get to know the Papal City on foot!
Before you begin, we advise that you prepare as if you were going on a real hike in the countryside - that is, good walking shoes, a backpack with a water bottle and suncreen, protection from the rain or the infamous Mistral wind.
You can do this hike in both directions. We have chosen to present it in the counter-clockwise direction, beginning in front of the Avignon Tourism Office. But you can totally choose another starting point and follow this hike in the other direction.
Time: approximately 3 hours (not including any stops)
Distance: approximately 10 km
Extension via Isle of Barthelasse: approximately 3 km more
Difficulty: Easy. Flat except for walking up to the Rocher des Doms.
The description of the hike is available below.
