    Avignon, France
    • Avignon, France
    The words Provence & lavender fields have become so synonymous with each other over the decades that we can hardly mention one without the other. The dusky purple shades and delicate fragrances that decorate its fields every summer are now so emblematic of the region that the Provence lavender fields have very much become a tourist attraction in their own right. Avignon has a long and storied history. This fortified town is the former residence of seven consecutive popes in the 1300s who fled Rome to escape from the political pressures of the Roman Empire. The city went on to become an important location during the French Revolution. Embark on a guided walking tour this afternoon to witness its illustrious past, including the ornate Gothic exterior of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Palais des Papes, built by the popes over two decades. This evening you are invited to join the unique experience of a classical concert in Avignon as part of the EmeraldPLUS program. ...
