Before you travel to Avignon by bus - good to know!

The city of Avignon isn't large at all, so walking (or hiring bicycles) is a popular way to see the sights. Alternatively, Lietaud double-decker buses run from sight to sight, allowing visitors to take everything in when time is short. There's quite a lot to see. The Palace of the Popes was once home to the Pope during the famous medieval "schism", while the Musee du Petit Palais hosts a magical collection of paintings from the Avignon School. If taking vacation snaps is a priority, there's nothing like a stroll to the end of the ruined Pont d'Avignon. The views of the city and the River Rhone are sublime.
