Experience medieval grandeur and Roman engineering in one seamless ride from Marseille. Begin in Vieil Avignon, its lively square framed by the Town Hall and clock tower, before stepping toward the Palais des Papes, the vast Gothic palace that shaped centuries of papal history. A short climb leads to the Rocher des Doms Belvedere, landscaped gardens offering sweeping views of the Rhône, Mont Ventoux, and the legendary Pont Saint-Bénézet. From its surviving arches, admire Avignon’s skyline and fortified walls. In the afternoon, continue to the majestic Pont du Gard, a UNESCO-listed aqueduct where three tiers of limestone arches span the Gardon River. Wide paths and riverside lookouts let you capture the monument from every angle in a peaceful natural setting. Fully private and customizable, the trip includes pickup, drop-off, and an English-speaking driver ready to adapt timing and walking to your pace.
