Avignon, France

Shopping Tour in Avignon

The best shopping in Avignon isn't in the malls — it's on the streets. Independent boutiques, artisan workshops, vintage stores, and morning markets are scattered through neighborhoods that reward the walker with discoveries you can't find online.

Avignon is the City of Popes, enclosed by remarkably intact medieval walls with the massive Papal Palace at its heart — a fortress-church that recalls the 14th century when the papacy moved to France.
