What you can expect
La Noctambule entre bourgeois et chrétiens invites you to a nocturnal exploration of Avignon's lesser-known corners, immersing you in the city's enigmatic history. This Noctambule stands out as the most offbeat of the four, leading you far from the well-trodden paths into secret streets and hidden stories.
The journey commences in front of the Carmes church on the expansive Place des Carmes, a perfect starting point for a night of discovery. Your guide will provide an introductory overview of the city's history, laying the foundation for the tales that will unfold. As you traverse through the city's obscure alleyways, witness how history has etched itself onto the facades of apartment buildings, revealing the imprints of time.
Turning corners, you'll witness the transformative impact of the Popes on the cityscape. Meander through little-known alleyways, each revealing treasures and stories seldom heard. Grand bourgeois houses from the 18th century will grace your path, offering a glimpse into a bygone era.
Understand the significance of the winding alleyways and emerge into the presence of a unique church, where diverse religious groups have left their mark. Pass by a historically rich building, observing its evolution over time. Approaching the Palais des Papes, delve into the dark days of the French Revolution and uncover the origins of the city.
Your nocturnal odyssey concludes in front of the Palais des Papes, leaving you with a profound understanding of Avignon's unconventional places, far from the conventional routes.
