Avignon holds more than its most famous sights. This route moves through churches, monasteries, and gardens that often go unnoticed by passing travelers. The path begins at Chapelle Saint-Ruf, a Romanesque structure, and leads to Rocher des Doms, where views open across the Rhône. The Hôtel des Monnaies displays baroque design, while Musée du Petit Palais houses Italian Renaissance paintings. Rue des Teinturiers, with its old water wheels, speaks to the city's craft traditions. Collection Lambert shows contemporary art within its modern spaces. Other places like Synagogue d'Avignon, Île de la Barthelasse, and Les Halles reveal how people actually move through and use the city. The Palais du Roure keeps local stories alive. The Jardin des Carmes offers a quiet corner for rest. The chapels built by the Pénitents—both black and white—mark religious brotherhoods that shaped life here from medieval times through the 1700s. Across the river in Villeneuve-lès-Avignon stand Fort Saint-André, Chartreuse du Val de Bénédiction, and Tour Philippe-le-Bel. This collection shows Avignon not as a single monument but as a living place where history, art, and daily routines have layered themselves over many centuries.
