Wander through its grand halls, frescoed chapels, and courtyards, imagining the power of the popes who once resided here. Afterward, stroll along the cobblestone streets of the old town, where you may discover charming boutiques and cafés tucked between centuries-old buildings. Head to the Pont Saint-Bénézet, the iconic “bridge to nowhere,” and enjoy views of the Rhône River.
