Embark on the Villeneuve-lès-Avignon Audio Tour: Guardians, Saints & Hidden Sanctuaries

A medieval tower looms over silent stone streets, its shadow stretching across Villeneuve-lès-Avignon where popes once hid secrets and rebels plotted at midnight. Beneath centuries-old arches lies a world few ever glimpse.

This self-guided audio tour unlocks hidden corners and forgotten tales as you move from the soaring Tour Philippe-le-Bel to the tranquil corridors of Chartreuse Notre-Dame-du-Val-de-Bénédiction and the lush grandeur of the Abbey of Saint-André. Hear what the guidebooks never say.

Why did royal messengers vanish from the tower overnight? What secret pact did cloistered monks seal within the Chartreuse’s ancient walls? Who planted the mysterious olive grove behind the Abbey and why?

Follow winding lanes, peer through heavy gates and hear wind echo with stories of betrayal, intrigue, and vanished power. Each step reveals another layer of drama, transforming the city into a living chapter of history.

Unlock the secrets behind the stones—your discovery begins now.
