In the morning, we will visit the famous Pont
d’Avignon or Bénezet Bridge, which has defied both
the Rhône River and time, and inspired a song of the same
name (ticket and audio-guide included in the price). We will then
walk along the ramparts to reach the Cathedral Notre Dame des
Doms and the Popes' Palace (ticket and audio-guide included but
the tour is unaccompanied). After lunch (lunch is included if
