The barge is moored at the island of Barthelasse, a quiet and off-center part of Avignon although close to the city center. Avignon is a place of grandiloquence: the city has many monuments classified as World Heritage by UNESCO. The Pont d'Avignon, the Palace of the Popes, the cobbled streets are unmissable places that must be seen to understand the medieval atmosphere of the city. In addition, every year the city hosts a famous theater festival in the month of July.
