There is a natural bathing beach by the lake. The water is so clear that you can see the bottom. Remember to bring a swimsuit! 3️⃣ Romantic sunset and starry sky Stay in a lake view room (recommended Auberge des Salles hotel, 83 Euros/night), and you can see the lake and mountains as soon as you open the window.

Starting from Nice or Avignon, you can see the lavender fields, red clay cities and ceramic towns along the way. The winding mountain road overlooks the lake view, it is breathtakingly beautiful! ⚠️ Lightning protection: 1️⃣ Don’t jump blindly! The lake is 90 meters deep at its deepest point, with complex undercurrents! There have been Chinese people who unfortunately died while diving. Safety first, don’t follow the example of foreigners who “seek death”! 2️⃣ Sun protection! Sun protection! Sun protection! The ultraviolet rays in the south of France are very strong, and boating for 2 hours can cause sunburn and peeling! It is recommended to wear a long-sleeved swimsuit + hat + SPF50 + sunscreen, a physical and chemical approach! 3️⃣ Choose the right season! Lavender blooms from the end of June to July. The lake water turns cold after October and it is not suitable to go into the water. Avoid the crowded peak season (July-August), May-June or September are more comfortable! 4️⃣ Drive carefully on mountain roads! The winding mountain road to Holy Cross Lake is winding and narrow, so it is recommended for beginners to charter a car or join a tour group. Please download offline maps in advance for navigation as there is no signal on some roads! 🍴 Food and accommodation recommendations 🏠 Where to stay The town of Les Salles-sur-Verdun: 5 minutes walk to the lake, great value for money!

We recommend a circular tour.

This is where the 'Avignon Papacy' took place, when the French king forced the papacy to move to Avignon. It was the moment when the French monarchy overwhelmed the divine right🥊 The Avignon Papal Palace is so huge that it takes more than half a day to look around the entire space and exhibits.

#europetravel Traveling across France by train was an adventure in itself. The high-speed TGV took me from Paris to Marseille in just a few hours, with landscapes changing from city skylines to rolling vineyards and the sparkling Mediterranean. For a budget-friendly option, I tried OUIGO—same speed, just fewer luxuries. In contrast, the TER regional trains offered a slower, scenic ride, perfect for shorter trips like Avignon to Marseille. Paris was a world of its own. The Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame, and the vibrant streets of Montmartre were just as enchanting as expected. Avignon, with its majestic Palais des Papes and half-vanished bridge, felt like a step back in time. Marseille’s Old Port and coastal views were stunning, while Mulhouse surprised me with its charming squares and impressive railway museum. Booking TGV tickets in advance saves money, and RER trains are the best way to navigate Paris. France’s rail system is efficient, but always check strikes—this is France, after all!

#europetravel Avignon felt like stepping into a medieval dream. The towering Palais des Papes, once home to popes, dominated the skyline with its imposing Gothic architecture. Walking through its grand halls, I could almost hear whispers of history echoing off the ancient stone walls. Outside, the view from the palace terraces was breathtaking—the Rhône River winding below and the famous Pont Saint-Bénézet stretching out, half-vanished into the water. As the sun set, the city took on a mysterious charm. Narrow, cobbled streets led me past hidden courtyards and quiet squares, where the glow of lanterns created an almost magical atmosphere. The blend of history and romance made Avignon unforgettable. Avignon is best explored on foot. A city pass is useful for visiting its landmarks, and winter offers a peaceful experience without the usual crowds. Bring a warm jacket for the chilly evening air, and don’t miss tasting the local wines—rich, full-bodied, and perfect for the setting.

Avignon is a city in southeastern France, the capital of the Vaucluse department, located on the banks of the Rhône River, and is known as the "City of Popes." Historically, the Catholic Church moved from Rome to Avignon and was controlled by the king. Many religious buildings are preserved in Avignon, such as the famous Palais des Papes. The Pont Saint-Bénézet, also known as the Avignon Bridge, originally spanned the Rhône River, connecting Avignon and the opposite bank. It has a history of over 800 years, but was later broken by floods. The remaining part of the bridge is now a World Heritage Site and is famous for a well-known nursery rhyme. In addition, Avignon is also the venue for the Avignon Festival, one of the longest-running and most influential art festivals in France. Every July and August, during the festival, Avignon attracts many tourists and art lovers. The city attracts visitors from all over the world with its rich history and unique artistic atmosphere.

The 'City of Popes' Avignon has always been a travel destination I've longed to visit. This city in southern France is renowned for being a former residence of the Popes. It boasts a rich historical heritage, exudes a strong cultural atmosphere, and is also filled with natural beauty. With curiosity and anticipation, I embarked on my journey to Avignon. At 7 AM, we set off from nearby Nice, beginning our road trip to Avignon. As we wound our way through the twisting mountain roads, we gradually left behind the coastal beaches and palm trees, entering the inland vineyards and olive groves. Passing through one small town after another, we admired the charming countryside scenery outside the window. On the distant horizon, the towering city walls and spired churches of our destination, Avignon, came into view. Upon arriving in Avignon, we were immediately captivated by the sight before us. The city stands on the banks of the Rhône River, with towering city walls and massive palace ruins forming a magnificent historical tableau. We first visited Avignon's iconic landmark, the Palais des Papes. This Gothic palace, built in the 14th century, was once the seat of the European papacy. Standing in its courtyard, we couldn't help but be awestruck. Following the paths around the Palais des Papes, we delved into the palace's interior. Luxurious corridors, towering spires, and vibrant frescoes all exuded the charm of the Middle Ages. With the professional guide's explanations, we felt as if we were traveling through time, experiencing the glory and splendor of the papal era. Every corner of the palace's interior was steeped in historical atmosphere, leaving us in awe. After lunch, we visited the renowned Pont d'Avignon. This famous stone bridge spanning the Rhône River was once a vital route for medieval merchants. However, today only a fragment of the bridge remains, still attracting a steady stream of visitors. Standing at the bridgehead, we gazed at the cityscape on the opposite bank, feeling the historical resonance of the bridge. Near the bridgehead, we discovered a hidden gem, the Rocher des Doms, a park perched atop the city walls. We climbed the winding paths to the observation deck, where the view took our breath away. The entire city of Avignon lay before us, with the Rhône River winding through it, and distant vineyards and mountains forming a picturesque natural scene. Standing there, we marveled at the divine craftsmanship of nature. Within the Rocher des Doms park, we also found a Gothic church, the Notre-Dame des Doms. This grand 14th-century building is renowned for its intricate stone carvings and stained glass windows. We carefully pushed open the heavy doors and entered the church. The opulent interior decorations and solemn atmosphere conveyed a strong sense of religious devotion. We prayed earnestly on the pews, hoping for divine protection. Leaving the church, we ventured into Avignon's old town. Here, numerous centuries-old buildings create a charming medieval landscape. We strolled along the winding alleys, admiring the arched roofs and painted walls of each building. Occasionally, locals passed by, nodding warmly in greeting. The residents here seemed to have become part of the city's history, blending seamlessly with this historic city. As evening approached, we went to the banks of the Rhône to watch the sunset. When the orange-red sun cast its glow on Avignon's city walls and palaces, the entire city seemed to be enveloped in a golden light. We sat on a riverside bench, admiring the enchanting natural scenery and feeling a sense of inner peace and tranquility. As night fell, the streets of Avignon gradually came to life. We headed to the central square of the old town, where numerous restaurants and bars were bustling with activity. We chose a historic restaurant to savor authentic southern French cuisine. The rich, flavorful meats, succulent seafood, and a glass of fine wine made for a delightful experience. This trip to Avignon was incredibly rewarding. This historic city not only boasts magnificent medieval heritage but also retains a strong cultural flavor. From the Palais des Papes to the Pont d'Avignon, from the Notre-Dame des Doms to the alleys of the old town, every corner showcases Avignon's unique charm. At the same time, the city also offers stunning natural landscapes, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in both cultural and natural beauty. Through this journey, I gained a deeper understanding and reflection on Avignon. I felt how a city with a long history preserves its unique charm through the passage of time. At the same time, in modern society, how to protect historical culture while promoting sustainable urban development is an important issue worth pondering. I hope to have the opportunity to return here in the future to continue exploring the charm of this city.

In the summer of Provence, the sunshine of southern France can directly pull you into the warm comfort. Watching people coming and going, everyone is at ease. My favorite thing is to be in a daze in the square, letting the summer wind blow my thoughts, as if I too Become a part of this story ✅Must visit attractions: 🌈1/Highlights: Avignon is a city in France located in the Provence-Alpes Côte d'Azur region. Situated on the banks of the Rhone River, it is one of the most important historical cities in southern France. Avignon is famous for its medieval architecture and rich cultural heritage. The most famous landmark in Avignon is the Palais des Papes (Palais des Papes), so you need to stay for at least an hour and a half! 🎫Ticket information: 19 euros per person The Palais des Papes is a magnificent palace building located in the center of Avignon. It was the Pope's residence in Avignon in the 14th century and was one of the political and religious centers of the Holy See at that time. The Papal Palace is one of the largest Gothic buildings in the world and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Papal Palace consists of two main parts: the Old Papal Palace and the New Papal Palace. The Palazzo Vecchio is the original building that includes a palace, cathedral, chapel and courtyard. The New Papal Palace was built on the east side of the Papal Palace and has a grander exterior and more luxurious interior decoration. The interior of the Papal Palace is lavishly decorated with artwork such as frescoes, stained glass windows, and sculptures. Visitors can tour the various rooms of the Papal Palace and learn about the life and power of the Pope at that time. 🌈2/Highlights: Another place worth visiting is the Pont d'Avignon. The history and legend of the Pont d'Avignon is well known in the song "Sur le pont d'Avignon" (On the Pont d'Avignon). The song depicts people dancing on the bridge and became one of the symbols of Avignon. Although the Broken Bridge of Avignon is no longer complete, it is still an attraction worth visiting. Visitors can walk along the bridge, enjoy the beautiful view of the Rhone River, and experience the historical atmosphere. 🎫Ticket information: 5 euros per person, including guide 📖Itinerary: After arriving at Avignon Central Railway Station, just walk straight ahead after exiting the station. About 900 meters away are the Papal Palace and the Broken Bridge. The whole journey is very Southern French style! 🍜Must-eat food: The lavender ice cream is really worth trying! The pure lavender smell is so unique! A long aftertaste!

In the early 14th century, the French king and the pope fought for control and church property, eventually forcing the court to move to Avignon. In the next 70 years, there were seven popes in Avignon, most of whom were elected by the French under the intervention of the French king. Later historians called the pope at this time "Avignon Prisoner". The palace where the pope lived was built in 1252. Later popes added and decorated it a lot, costing a lot of manpower and material resources, and the income of the court was almost insufficient. The palace is located on a high ground on the banks of the Rhone River. It is the largest Gothic palace in Europe, covering an area of 15,000 square meters. It is entirely built of locally produced yellow stones. It is also a military bunker with a wall thickness of up to 3 meters and very few windows. There is still a five-kilometer-long city wall outside the city, with city gates, city towers, and city battlements. In addition to the palace, the Avignon Broken Bridge is also a famous scenic spot. It is said that in the 12th century, a shepherd named Benezet was called by the Lord to move a huge stone weighing more than half a ton from the mayor's courtyard to the river bank. The people who were deterred by the divine will generously donated money and spent ten years of hard work to build this bridge. Named it "Saint Benezet Bridge" with the name of the shepherd. Although only four of the 22 stone arches remain today, they still do not reduce their grace. Most of the museums in Avignon are free. The visitor center sells museum tickets for 24€ a day. It is recommended not to buy them. One is because most of them are free, and the other is that you can't see a few museums outside the palace and the broken bridge in one day. Palace ticket: 14.5€ Musee Louis Vouland: €6 (The museum is not big, two floors, about 10 small rooms, but the furniture is exquisite, and friends who like European-style decoration should take a look.)

Avignon, also known as the 'City of Popes,' was once the residence of the Popes (including antipopes) from 1309 to 1423 during the period of the Catholic Schism. Additionally, Avignon is one of the few cities in France that still has its old city walls in a well-preserved state. The historic center, including the Papal Palace, the Avignon Bridge, and other historical sites, remains in good condition. These landmarks were designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995 under the name 'Historic Centre of Avignon: Papal Palace, Episcopal Ensemble, and Avignon Bridge' (French: Centre historique d’Avignon : Palais des papes, ensemble épiscopal et Pont d’Avignon).

(Paris) The ride from Gare de Lyon to Avignon TGV station takes about 2 hours 40 minutes to 3 hours. You can get there by TGV (high-speed train). This time I used a Eurail Pass (Eurail France Pass 4 days). Since I was traveling alone, I didn't have to worry about the seat, so I chose a second-class ticket, but I didn't have any concerns about safety or comfort. *The pass is only valid for the boarding ticket, so you must reserve and purchase a separate seat ticket each time you board. Please be careful. ● "le Palais des Papes" Avignon Papal Palace General admission fee €12 At the Papal Palace, you can borrow an AR explanation tablet, and the screen shows how the rooms were used at the time, allowing you to imagine what life was like. ● "LE PONT SAINT BENEZET" Pont Saint-Bénézet General admission €4 When you leave the city to the northwest, you will come across a bridge that collapsed halfway and was left behind outside the city walls. Walking across the bridge is of course a famous tourist spot, but personally, I thought the view across the river from outside the city was GOOD. *Please note that the museum is closed on certain days. All prices are as of September 2022. #Fritabi #France #FranceTrip #FranceTourism #Avignon #SoloTrip #Trip #avignon #Provence #provence

Avignon is the capital of the Vaucluse department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France. It is also one of the few French cities that still retains its city walls. Seven successive popes lived in Avignon between 1309 and 1377 during the Avignon Papacy, and in 1348 Pope Clement VI bought the city from Joanna I of Naples. Papal control continued until 1791, when it became part of France during the French Revolution. The historic center, which includes the Palais des Papes, the Cathedral and the Pont Saint-Beneze, became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995 for its architecture and importance from the 14th and 15th centuries. #OverseasTravel #EuropeTravel #EuropeTourism #FranceTravel #FranceTourism #Bridge #BrokenBridge #River #WorldHeritage #WorldHeritageChurch

Avignon, Provence, France, one of the landmarks of the world's cultural heritage sites - the Palais des Papes, the Palais des Congrs due to the 14th century Roman Catholic faction dispute, the Pope at that time in order to escape the struggle to move Rome with the support of the French King In Avignon, the city and the Palais des Congrs were built, and seven popes lived there for hundreds of years. The palace is divided into the old hall and the new hall. The style of the old temple is simple. It is the proof that the first pope has just laid the foundation. The new hall is luxurious and rich, which is the embodiment of the later development of the pope. From the ancient city wall gate outside Avignon Central Station, walk along the Republic Street for 10 minutes until the highest point at the end can see this magnificent palace. Tickets are 14.5 euros per person, and also include a Chinese-based pad for Chinese tour guides. I dont know how to understand the palace of the original religion, but the teaching of the imperial guide is very confident. I use the pad to hide the hidden treasure game in each room to guide the visitors to understand the past story of the palace. In order to get the final reward, I still really read every palace, which is more interesting than the visit to the Vatican Museum in Italy. Among them, the most impressive thing about eating goods is to visit the previous kitchen. It is incredible to see the introduction of the former high society people who actually eat roasted peacocks.

The old town of Avignon is very tasteful, the narrow stone road, the ancient city wall, and the grandmother ash in the morning, let me unconsciously start the fan. decided to go today, literary, decadent, haha When he is hesitating to enter the Imperial Palace, the sky suddenly swells and it rains soon. I don't worry about other things, I mainly worry about my grandmother ash! I have vaguely felt that my hair has faded so I can only stroll into the palace. The ticket with the Saint-Beneze Bridge is 13.5 Euros, and if it is not, it is 11 Euros. The Palais des Nations is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the largest Gothic palace in the world. Built after the Pope left Rome, the walls are 3 meters thick. The Palace of the Palace is divided into two parts: the old hall and the new hall. The old temple is unpretentious and belongs to the Roman architectural style; the new hall is magnificent and typical of Gothic architecture. The Palais des Papes is not only the palace of the pope but also a fortress. On the square in front of the palace, there are many tourists coming here to visit, so it is very lively.
