Avignon is a Provençal city known for its ramparts, old lanes and medieval heritage. You can explore the historic centre on foot, between shaded squares, stone façades and buildings linked to the history of the popes. On the other bank of the Rhône, Villeneuve-lès-Avignon has a quieter atmosphere, with gardens and monuments on the heights. The property is in an area where a car makes it easier to travel between your accommodation and the city’s different districts.

The Palace of the Popes dominates the old town and offers an insight into the history of the papacy in Avignon. Pont Saint-Bénézet, known as the Pont d’Avignon, recalls the former crossing over the Rhône and offers another heritage walk. The ramparts still mark the perimeter of the old town. Across the river, Fort Saint-André and the gardens of the Abbey make for an outing amid historic buildings and greenery. Avignon-Centre railway station is 3.9 km away; the TGV station serves long-distance rail routes.

Spring and autumn are pleasant seasons for exploring the monuments on foot, with temperatures often milder than in the height of summer. In July, the Festival d’Avignon brings performances and shows to venues across the city; it is worth planning your journeys and visits in advance at this time. You can spend a day visiting the Palace of the Popes, wandering through the old town’s lanes and crossing the Rhône to Villeneuve-lès-Avignon. In summer, the swimming pool and garden also offer a break between outings. The region is well suited to day trips to Provençal villages and landscapes.
