About this tour
A two-hour walking tour of Avignon steered by someone who actually lives there. You'll pass the Palais des Papes and the famous bridge, then veer into quieter streets where locals do their shopping. Sample something fresh from a local bakery or producer. Leave with a mental map of the city and genuine recommendations for where to eat without the tourist markup.
Highlights
- Palais des Papes and Pont Saint-Bénézet, explained by a resident

What to expect
Your guide meets you at an agreed point and walks at a relaxed pace, stopping to point out architecture, street life, and the reasoning behind Avignon's layout. You'll stand in a couple of famous spots but won't queue for tickets. Midway through, you'll taste something local—perhaps a pastry or regional product—while your guide talks about how it fits into daily life here. The second half focuses on practical information: which neighbourhoods suit different budgets, how the bus network actually works, where to sit down for a proper meal. The route adjusts to weather and what catches your interest.
Good to know
No museum or monument entry fees included. Bring comfortable shoes—it's entirely on foot. Strollers work fine on the main routes. Weather may shift some stops. The tasting varies by season and what's available.
