The Avignon City Guides answer the questions every visitor has: where to eat well inside the ramparts without paying for a view, which museums cost nothing, when to see the papal palace, where the evening goes after the aperitif and which Roman towns are an easy train ride away. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to order or see and one practical tip for every place, and it opens in your browser as soon as you pay.

Three places from the guides
Numero 75
Rue Guillaume Puy, near the waterwheels
A historic townhouse with a garden courtyard, where the day’s dishes are chalked on a slate: courgette flowers stuffed the Provençal way, slow-cooked lamb shoulder, sea bass in butter sauce. From the food guide.
Musée du Petit Palais
Place du Palais
The old archbishop’s palace now holds Botticelli, Carpaccio and early panels of the Avignon school, one of the finest collections of its kind in France, and the rooms are seldom crowded. From the things to do guide.
Pont du Gard
Vers-Pont-du-Gard, about 45 minutes by regional bus
A Roman aqueduct 49 metres high, three tiers of stone arches over the Gardon, reached on a paved path from a visitor area with a good museum. Take the bus rather than paying to park. From the day trips guide.
Plan your days in Avignon
Day one: be at the Palais des Papes when it opens, climb to the Jardin des Doms for the view of the bridge, lunch on a set menu near Place Saint-Pierre and finish at a wine bar on Place des Corps-Saints. Day two: take the regional train to Orange, Arles or Nîmes from the day trips guide, then walk the ramparts in the evening light. For a rainy or slow day, mix the free museums from the budget guide, the indoor play from the family guide and a long lunch from the food guide.
