🇫🇷 Half-Day in Avignon: A Perfect Provençal Escape ☀️🏰

Skip to the bottom for quick tips! This morning, we took the 9:20 AM train from Lyon Part-Dieu and arrived at Avignon Centre by 11:40 AM. Just a 7-8 minute walk from the station, and voilà—we were in the heart of this charming Southern French town! By 2:45 PM, after a leisurely lunch, we started exploring... and by 5:30 PM, we’d seen everything—without rushing! The weather was perfect (sunny, blue skies), though crazy windy! 💨 ✨ Top Tips for Your Visit 1️⃣ Arrive at Avignon Centre station—it’s super close to the old town! Just walk straight ahead. 2️⃣ Wander freely! No need for a strict route—every alley hides surprises. 🎭 3️⃣ Palais des Papes (Pope’s Palace): €15 full / €10 student (worth it for the history!). 4️⃣ Rocher des Doms park (behind Notre-Dame Cathedral)—sit by the pond and watch ducks 🦆 + epic Rhône River views! 5️⃣ Pont d’Avignon (Bridge): €5 full / €4 student (bring ID). Even better than the cathedral—stunning river panoramas! 🌉 💭 Final Thoughts A laid-back, utterly satisfying half-day trip!
