Avignon

FrenchEUR €3 walks

A 14th-century fortified palace inside four kilometres of intact medieval walls, the Rhône running past a broken bridge that half-spans the river, plane-shaded squares with terrace cafés, the smell of lavender from every herb shop. The city that was the seat of seven popes between 1309 and 1377, and still looks the part.
