This place is interesting enough if you happen to be in the area. It was not worth a four-hour roundtrip bus ride from Marseille. The biggest surprise is that it is no longer a religious site. The … Full review by Yankeehoya

Our tour with Road Scholar was set on certain areas with lots of history and art. The Pope's Palace was one of those areas of wonder. The palace is huge. The tour guide did such a good job giving the history behind the time there were two popes and how that tied in to other historical events. Each room had a trove of stories regarding the time period and how it related to what was going on elsewhere in the world. In addition to the palace, there is a park with a beautiful overlook of the river and bridge of Avignon below and across the river to another walled city across the countryside. It was much better with a guide than it would have been only touring it by ourselves.
Traveling with disabled lady, is the Pope's Place wheelchair friendly?
A:
It isn't very wheelchair friendly - lots of steps. Not sure if it helps but the Pont D'Avignon has a wheelchair lift if you're looking for places to go.
