Avignon Night Tour
Tour Details
When booking this night tour of Avignon, you can choose between a tour of the historic centre and a tour of the lesser known sides of Avignon. Both routes include an English-speaking guide. You can see the details of each route below.
Historic Centre Tour (1 Hour)
At the indicated time, we'll meet at the Porte du Rhône and, from this spot located on the banks of the Rhône River, we'll head towards the Pont Saint-Bénézet to see this stone footbridge from the shore. The most interesting thing about it is that it's unfinished. Do you know why?
After finding out, we'll continue our walk through the historic centre of Avignon next to the Petit Palais. Next to this charming palace is Avignon Cathedral, a Romanesque work of art. We'll stop in front of its façade to admire its great bell tower, which reaches a height of 20 m (65 ft).
Right next to the cathedral is the famous Avignon Papal Palace, which we'll also see from the outside. We'll learn why several Popes decided to reside in this city in the south of France in defiance of the power of Rome.
Finally, we'll bring this night tour to an end next to the Papal Palace.
This route runs from Thursday to Sunday at the following times:
- April: at 7 pm
- May, June and September: at 7:30 pm
- July and August: at 8 pm
Alternative Avignon Tour (2 Hours)
In this option, we'll discover the less touristic places of Avignon, away from the historic centre. To do so, we'll meet at the Porte Limbert. From there, we'll pass through picturesque streets such as Teinturier, Bonneterie and de la Masse.
After discovering the charm of these streets, we'll continue our walk to the Théâtre des Halles, one of the most iconic in the city. We'll then go to Place Jérusalem, where we'll stop in front of the Avignon Synagogue.
The next stop will be at Place Carnot, where we'll see the Basilica of St. Peter from the outside, a jewel of Provençal Gothic architecture
Finally, we'll pass by the Place de l'Amirande and, after a 2-hour tour under the stars, we'll end our guided tour in front of the Papal Palace of Avignon.
This route runs on Saturdays at the following times:
- April: at 8:30 pm
- May, June and September: at 9 pm
