8 hours of fun in a super niche medieval town in southern France.

My favorite thing is to be in a daze in the square, letting the summer wind blow my thoughts, as if I too Become a part of this story ✅Must visit attractions: 🌈1/Highlights: Avignon is a city in France located in the Provence-Alpes Côte d'Azur region. Situated on the banks of the Rhone River, it is one of the most important historical cities in southern France. Avignon is famous for its medieval architecture and rich cultural heritage. The most famous landmark in Avignon is the Palais des Papes (Palais des Papes), so you need to stay for at least an hour and a half! 🎫Ticket information: 19 euros per person The Palais des Papes is a magnificent palace building located in the center of Avignon. It was the Pope's residence in Avignon in the 14th century and was one of the political and religious centers of the Holy See at that time. The Papal Palace is one of the largest Gothic buildings in the world and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Papal Palace consists of two main parts: the Old Papal Palace and the New Papal Palace. The Palazzo Vecchio is the original building that includes a palace, cathedral, chapel and courtyard. The New Papal Palace was built on the east side of the Papal Palace and has a grander exterior and more luxurious interior decoration. The interior of the Papal Palace is lavishly decorated with artwork such as frescoes, stained glass windows, and sculptures. Visitors can tour the various rooms of the Papal Palace and learn about the life and power of the Pope at that time. 🌈2/Highlights: Another place worth visiting is the Pont d'Avignon. The history and legend of the Pont d'Avignon is well known in the song "Sur le pont d'Avignon" (On the Pont d'Avignon). The song depicts people dancing on the bridge and became one of the symbols of Avignon. Although the Broken Bridge of Avignon is no longer complete, it is still an attraction worth visiting. Visitors can walk along the bridge, enjoy the beautiful view of the Rhone River, and experience the historical atmosphere. 🎫Ticket information: 5 euros per person, including guide 📖Itinerary: After arriving at Avignon Central Railway Station, just walk straight ahead after exiting the station. About 900 meters away are the Papal Palace and the Broken Bridge. The whole journey is very Southern French style! 🍜Must-eat food: The lavender ice cream is really worth trying! The pure lavender smell is so unique! A long aftertaste!
