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.

We just got off Mike's van, after he picked us up and dropped us off directly in front of our hotel. I reached out to Mike in advance of our arrival and was not sure where or when we wanted to go on the tour but he reached out to us a couple of days in advance to talk things through and we planned to go to the Southern Rhone, Mourchorn winery. Mike was right on time picking us up, brought some waters and gave us a great handy book. He is extremely knowledgeable, smart and takes pride in his work. We absolutely loved his tour and recommend it to anyone coming to the Arles or Avignon area. Mike really is absolutely wonderful and gives his all into his work. I honestly wish we did a full day tour with him instead of a half day tour. Thank you for all of your help Mike!!!!
