Avignon, situated in the heart of the Vaucluse region in the south of France, is famed for two celebrated attractions – Le Palais des Papes (Popes’ Palace) and Pont St Bйnezet (the bridge made famous in the ditty ‘Sur le pont d’Avignon, on y danse, on y danse&ellips;’). But the city has much more to offer. The Palais des Papes marks the skyline with its graceful and ornate spires, an exterior more awe-inspiring than anything inside. Fire destroyed many of the rooms and only one single bedroom remains fully furnished to impress visitors. The famous bridge, erected in the 12th century, to carry St Bйnezet over to the neighbouring village of Villeneuve, nowadays retains only four of its original 22 arches.
