Avignon - Palace of the Popes - a Secret Tour

Avignon Palace of the Popes – A secret (visit in English – Fridays only Euro 35 per person)

Who, as a child or even as an adult, has not dreamed of visiting a castle or even a palace and finding secret passageways, slipping through concealed doorways, and visiting places where the public is not allowed to go! 

The itinerary at Avignon’s Palace of the Popes ( Palais des Papes) is offering not so much a traditional tour as a guided discovery of the palace's secret corners. During the visit, your guide will offer details and anecdotes about the building of the monument, its history and the daily lives of the pontifical sovereigns and other figures who occupied the palace.
This tour will lead you from dark corridors to concealed staircases, from terraces overlooking the town to private chapels. 

There are Many more private tours and sometimes brunch included, but in French only.

Just as a sidenote - The "official" visit of the Palais des Papes is not recommended for anyone of restricted mobility, and that applies even more to the secret tour. The steep, narrow spiral staircases and crumbing steps give you the sense of navigating a building site, though this also lends the tour an exciting, exploratory quality.
