    Palais des Papes (pass by)

    This vast cobblestone square unfolds beneath the towering Gothic fortress that once housed the Popes of the 14th century. Even from the outside, it stuns with medieval drama and scale.

    Cathedrale Notre-Dame des Doms (pass by)

    Right beside the palace, this Romanesque cathedral has stood watch for nearly 1,000 years. The golden Virgin atop the dome is one of the city’s emblems.

    Pont Saint-Benezet (Pont d'Avignon) (pass by)

    You don’t need to pay to visit the bridge—its best view is from the ramparts or riverbank, where its truncated span across the Rhône becomes a symbol of legend and loss.

    Place des Corps Saints (pass by)

    A quieter, shaded square near a 14th-century church, filled with terrace cafés. It’s slightly off the tourist trail, making it a favorite with locals who want a slower pace.
