  • Day 4: 03:00-13:00

    Avignon / France

    On the banks of the Rhône, nestled among the picturesque landscapes of Provence, lies Avignon — a city where every stone echoes a grand historical legacy. In the 14th century, it became the residence of the popes, and to this day, its appearance reflects its former glory: massive walls, the majestic Papal Palace, and Gothic towers create the atmosphere of a medieval fairy tale. A walk through the old town with its narrow streets and cozy squares feels like stepping back in time.

    Avignon doesn’t live in the past alone. Each summer, thousands of art lovers gather here for the renowned theatre festival that fills the streets with music, performances, and cultural vibrancy. Add to that the local markets scented with lavender and spices, the taste of Provençal cuisine, and the soft sun of southern France — and you’ll understand why Avignon is considered one of the most enchanting corners of the country.
