Get a double-bill of French history, with combined access to two iconic attractions. The gigantic Palais des Papes was the home of nine Catholic popes throughout the 14th Century, while the Pont d'Avignon is one of the most famous river crossings in the whole world. The stories of these two structures are closely entwined, and with this ticket you can discover the histories and legends of both!

Palace of the Popes & Pont d’Avignon: Entry Ticket

There are palaces, and then there are **palaces**. This mammoth monument is the largest Gothic building in the world, and towers over the picture-perfect town of Avignon. Built by Pope John XXII (we suspect he had some help) in 1316, the Palais has hosted nine popes and countless monarchs and nobility over the years. Explore and discover this palatial piece of world history.

Palace of the Popes & Gardens: Entry Ticket

Fort Saint-André has been listed as a historic monument since 1903, and you can't miss it. Literally! This majestic medieval fort looms large over the Rhône from atop the rocky outcrop of Mount Andaon. Commissioned by the French King Philippe le Bel to display his power, Fort Saint-André is an exceptional testimony to both his deep pockets and the military architecture of the 14th century. 

Once a symbol of royal power, the fort had a permanent garrison, a court of justice and a prison. You can still see the graffiti from the prisoners who were locked up here in the 18th and 19th centuries! Explore the fully intact rooms and buildings, step into the chapel, and take the parapet walk for mind-blowing views of the Pope's Palace, the bridge of Avignon, the Philippe Le Bel Tower, Mont Ventoux, the Alpilles, the Luberon, and more.
