Crónicas de Avignon
Avignon was founded by the Romans in 121 B.C. and was later a papal city, earning the nickname 'the City of Popes'. The city's architecture reflects its rich history, with examples of medieval and Renaissance-era buildings, such as the iconic Palais des Papes and St-Benezet Bridge, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Today, Avignon is a cultural hub, hosting the annual Festival d'Avignon, a celebration of theatre, dance, and music that draws visitors from around the world. The city's contemporary identity is a blend of traditional Provençal charm and a thriving arts scene.

Principales atracciones en Avignon
💡 Bring a picnic and sit on the low stone wall at the northern edge around 6pm for the golden hour light hitting the palace. The park has public toilets and a small café with affordable drinks.
💡 Go between 9am and 11am for the best selection. Bring cash—some stalls don't take cards. Stand at La Petite Cuisine for a €5 glass of rosé to enjoy while browsing. Saturday mornings have the largest selection.
💡 Go on the first Sunday of the month when all exhibitions are free, or check the website for occasional free guided tours in English. Don't miss the courtyard garden—quiet, cool, and rarely crowded.
💡 Enter the gardens via the ramp behind the palace, not the main tourist steps. Go at sunset for fewer crowds and the best light.
💡 Skip the paid walkway and instead go to the Île de la Barthélasse for the best free photo angle: the bridge framed by foliage and water. Check low tide times for riverbed access.
