Admire the beautiful, walled city of Avignon from the viewpoint of its twin town of Villeneuve. Avignon’s Palace of the Popes was home to a number of fourteenth-century Popes and across the wide, meandering River Rhone is Villeneuve lez Avignon, the town where the papal courtiers lived. The walk to Villeneuve, which takes about half-an-hour, crosses the Rhone and involves a gentle, uphill approach to the sleepy town that boasts a medieval monastery, a fort and a citadel plus a plethora of pavement cafes. Perfect for an afternoon visit, there are regular buses if you can’t manage the walk.
