Located where the Rhone and Durance Rivers meet in the southern region of Provence, Avignon is a walled city made up of a medieval labyrinth of squares and cobblestone streets. Performers stroll the streets entertaining you as you enjoy the sights of the city. Avignon is famous for its Catholic history; it was once the "Rome away from Rome" during the 14th century when the medieval papacy relocated here for a brief period of time.
