A definite must see for history buffs. I think this important monument is often overlooked because it’s not centrally located (within close proximity to the main sites). If you’re driving (or cycling) it wouldn’t take you long at all to get there. I walked from my hotel; it took me around 35 mins at a leisurely pace, with stopping time to take pictures along the way. Interesting place to visit, and the view from the top of the tower is worth the visit alone.

Only €4.50 entrance fee to a tower built in 1302 - 1350. Video displays on first floor and stunning views of Avignon and the River Rhone.

€4 per ticket and cash only. You can get a great view of the river and that’s pretty much it. If you are low on budget or time, you can skip this one.

Cool from the outside. Didn’t go through the tour. I recommend Parker here and walking through the town to get to the small village on the other side.

I had a short visit here but I enjoyed it. It’s really nice to do after the Pont d’Avignon and before Fort Saint-André.

Lovely tower that was once connected to the Pont d'Avignon. It was interesting standing next to it imagining how long the original building stretched.
