For Wednesday’s “social event,” we’re offering three options. These tours will give you a unique cultural experience in Avignon and the surrounding area.
The “Palais des Papes” is a remarkable example of medieval architecture that showcases the grandeur of the Gothic style. In addition to the overview you’ll receive during the lecture held at the palace’s convention center, this guided tour will allow you to explore in greater detail the rich history and impressive architecture of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Let yourself be charmed by the heart of Avignon and enjoy a two-hour guided tour that begins near the majestic “Palais des Papes” and ends at the legendary “Pont d’Avignon,” as you discover the unique atmosphere and charm of this city full of character.
Discover Villeneuve-lès-Avignon on the other side of the Rhône river, during a 2-hour guided tour that combines cultural heritage, history, and remarkable panoramic views. The tour will take you through the “Chartreuse du Val de Bénédiction” and the abbey gardens, in a setting steeped in history and serenity.
This tour requires a good level of physical fitness due to the walking, stairs, and elevation changes.
Tour selection is made at registration, subject to availability. The social event is followed by the Conference Dinner in the evening.
