Avignon, France 4K Walking Tour — Palace of the Popes, Pont d'Avignon & Medieval Old Town
Avignon walking tour through Place de l'Horloge, the Palace of the Popes, Pont Saint-Bénézet, and Les Halles market — a day walk through the UNESCO-listed "City of the Popes" in Provence, France. Filmed in 4K60fps with binaural audio.
One of France's most historically significant medieval cities, Avignon was the seat of the Catholic Church from 1309 to 1377, when seven French popes ruled here instead of Rome. The Palais des Papes is the largest Gothic palace in Europe, and the famous Pont d'Avignon — with only 4 of its original 22 arches remaining — earned the historic centre UNESCO World Heritage status in 1995.
Ideal for virtual travel, treadmill walks, and ambient atmosphere. Best with headphones.

⛪ ABOUT AVIGNON
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
In 1309, Pope Clement V moved the papal court from Rome to Avignon to escape the chaos of the Italian Peninsula. Over the next 68 years, seven French popes ruled Western Christianity from this city. The Palais des Papes was constructed in under 20 years on the rocky outcrop above the Rhône. The Pont Saint-Bénézet, immortalized in the nursery rhyme "Sur le pont d'Avignon," was built in the 12th century as a crossing to Italy and Spain. The papacy returned to Rome in 1377.
