The best shopping in Avignon isn't in the malls — it's on the streets. From vintage stores to artisan workshops, spots like Rue des Teinturiers are scattered through neighborhoods that reward the curious walker. Wander further and you'll stumble on Rue des Teinturiers — the kind of find you can't replicate online.
Avignon is the City of Popes, enclosed by remarkably intact medieval walls with the massive Papal Palace at its heart — a fortress-church that recalls the 14th century when the papacy moved to France.
Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided shopping tour route in Avignon. The audio walking tour can include stops such as Rue des Teinturiers — a cobbled street along a canal shaded by plane trees, named for its medieval dye workshops, now lined with restaurants and gallery spaces, plus hidden gems like Rue des Teinturiers — a tree-lined lane along a canal with old waterwheels, bohemian restaurants, and a peaceful atmosphere far from the tourist center and Villeneuve-les-Avignon — a quiet town across the Rhone with Fort Saint-Andre and the best external view of the Papal Palace and Avignon skyline.
Use this page as a starting point for a Avignon walking tour, a free self-guided route, or the Roamee app for Avignon. Roamee Pro keeps the route flexible so you can follow the stops, skip ahead, or explore nearby streets at your own pace.
Visitors explore Avignon for history and theater, but every walking route ends up passing through Rue des Teinturiers and neighborhood markets that tell their own story about the city. Don't overlook Rue des Teinturiers — it reflects what the people of Avignon actually buy, make, and value.
Walk the ramparts path along the outside of the city walls for a view most visitors miss — it connects several gates and offers a different perspective on the fortified city.
July for the Festival d'Avignon when the city becomes an open-air theater, or May through June for warm Provencal weather without the festival crowds.
