Your journey begins with a direct run north from Marseille to 1Vieil Avignon, Avignon’s lively central square. Cafés spill out onto the pavement, the Town Hall and clock tower add an elegant frame, and street performers often keep the atmosphere buzzing. From here you step naturally toward Palais des Papes, the immense papal palace that dominates the skyline. Whether you admire the Gothic facades from the vast square or explore courtyards and chapels inside, the sense of history is overwhelming.

Climbing just a little higher, you reach Rocher des Doms Belvedere, landscaped gardens with a belvedere that gives sweeping views of the Rhône, the bridge below, and Mont Ventoux on a clear day. It’s the city’s natural balcony, perfect for wide photos. Back down by the river, Pont Saint-Bénézet stretches partway across the Rhône the famous Pont d’Avignon. Standing on its surviving arches, you get the classic angle back toward the palace and fortified walls.

In the afternoon the ride continues west to Pont du Gard, the Pont du Gard. Here three tiers of limestone arches stride the Gardon River in breathtaking scale. Broad riverside paths and lookouts allow you to take in the aqueduct from every angle, and the surrounding natural setting makes it as peaceful as it is monumental. After time to explore and capture photos, your driver returns you comfortably to Marseille.
