The Passage de la Pyramide is a charming walkway in Avignon that connects the city’s bustling streets with its quieter corners. Named after a small pyramid once marking the area, the passage reflects the layered history of Avignon, where medieval structures blend with later urban developments. Its narrow path, framed by stone façades and arches, invites visitors to wander and discover hidden perspectives of the city. The passage has long served as a link between neighborhoods, embodying the rhythm of daily life while preserving echoes of the past. Today, it offers a picturesque shortcut for locals and travelers alike, combining practicality with atmosphere. Walking through the Passage de la Pyramide is more than a simple stroll; it is an encounter with Avignon’s living heritage, where every turn reveals the enduring charm of its historic fabric.
Avignon FrancePassage de la Pyramide is a historic pedestrian passageway located near Boulevard Saint-Lazare and Porte Limbert in the eastern sector of Avignon's medieval ramparts, just outside the UNESCO-listed historic centre on the left bank of the Rhône River in Provence, southeastern France. Named after the nearby 14th-century Tour de la Pyramide—a sluice tower controlling water from the Sorgue River to the city's dye works—it forms part of the Poterne des Teinturiers opened in 1995, offering a charming arched gateway through the ancient fortifications. Nearby stand the ramparts' towers and gates like Porte Saint-Lazare, the Teinturiers canal with its waterwheels and artists' studios, residential neighborhoods, easy access to the Rhône quays and river paths, and a short walk or bus ride to the Palais des Papes, Place de l'Horloge cafés, and Pont Saint-Bénézet.
