Climb aboard your minivan and set off to discover the city of Avignon. Enjoy a scenic drive before arriving at the city known as the "City of the Popes". Enjoy a walk through the sites of this UNESCO classified city and discover its famous Popes' Palace (entrance ticket not included).

Did you know? The Popes' Palace is the biggest Gothic-style palace in Europe?!

Your guide will show you the great view of Avignon's Saint-Benezet Bridge, a beautiful site that inspired the famous French song "Sur le pont d'Avignon". Admire the view and get ready to sing with your local guide!

After your tour of Avignon you'll drive on through the vineyards of the Rhone Valley to Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Enjoy a tour and wine tasting in a local winery and learn about Provence's famous wine.
