Châteaurenard is a Provençal town in Bouches-du-Rhône, on the agricultural plain between Avignon and the Alpilles. Its landscape combines orchards, market gardens and small towns, with the Alpilles in the background. Traces of its history can be found in the town centre, around the castle and its former gates. The town suits travellers looking to stay in a small community while keeping Avignon and its major heritage sites on their itinerary.

Château de Châteaurenard overlooks the town centre and offers an introduction to local history. The Museum of Agricultural Tools and Traditions presents the area’s rural past, while the producers’ market showcases seasonal produce. Avignon, about 8 km away from nearby points of interest, is home to the Palace of the Popes and Pont Saint-Bénézet, both associated with the city’s medieval history. Avignon-Centre and Avignon TGV stations make arriving by train easy; a car is useful for exploring the villages and countryside around Châteaurenard.

In spring, the days are well suited to walks through the orchards and trips to the Alpilles. In summer, it is best to visit the markets and Avignon in the morning, before the hottest part of the day. In September and autumn, market stalls reflect the harvest season, and the temperatures are suitable for cycling. You can spend a day alternating between Avignon’s heritage sites and the small towns of the plain, before returning to the house’s garden and terrace.
