Avignon charms visitors with its ancient streets, restored medieval ramparts and the immense Gothic architecture of the Palais des Papes (Palace of Popes—the papacy was based here in the 14th century). The annual Festival d'Avignon, a major arts festival, attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors for theater, dance, film and street performances.

Disclaimer: I have a weakness for medieval Gothic churches. That said, Eglise Saint-Pierre is a winner. The bland exterior walls give no clue to the vast space, classic architecture, grand altar, beautiful chapels and stained glass. The interior, in its way, is a work of art; if you love art, that is reason to go.
