Avignon is a walled city on the Rhone in Provence, southern France, seat of the papacy from 1309 to 1377 and host of a huge theatre festival each July. See the Palais des Papes and Avignon Cathedral, walk out on the half-ruined St Benezet Bridge, then visit the Pont du Gard aqueduct, the Roman theatre at Orange, the vineyards of Chateauneuf-du-Pape and the hill villages of the Luberon.
