Tour My Run!Tour My Run!Avignon is a city you run in the shadow of the Palais des Papes and along the Rhône. The ramparts loop unrolls a flat, easy circuit along the medieval walls; Île de la Barthelasse, the largest river island in France, offers kilometres of flat paths facing the city; and the Rocher des Doms adds a short climb for the view. On TourMyRun, a local runner takes you along their routes: the ramparts, the Barthelasse, the Rhône banks towards the Pont d’Avignon. Not a sightseeing circuit: one hour with an Avignonnais who knows the right tempo and the best time of day.

Get the free guideYour guide is an Avignonnais who loves to run and knows the city of the Popes and its banks. They pick a flat route — ramparts, Barthelasse, riverbanks — or add the Rocher des Doms for the view, depending on your level and the heat of the day. Many of our guides here are running-club members and Avignon University students who know every loop.
Looking for someone to run with in Avignon? A local is ready to go. Rather than running alone in a city you don't know, you join a resident who already runs this ground: they open up their route, match the pace to yours, and show you the city on the move.
Not here for the performance? Many guides offer an easy-paced discovery run — a gentle jog, almost at walking pace, to see the city without racing through it.
