Location & what to see

Althen-des-Paluds is a village in Vaucluse, amid Provence’s agricultural landscape, between Avignon and the foothills of Mont Ventoux. The surroundings combine small towns, fields and leisure attractions, with a more rural feel than the major cities. This stop suits travellers who want to discover different sides of the region and return to a village setting after their visits. A car makes getting around easier: public transport does not serve the guest house.

Parc Spirou and Wave Island leisure parks are 2.7 km and 2.8 km away, respectively. They offer rides and water activities, popular in particular during family stays. Château de Thouzon, 5.9 km away, is a chance to discover a local historic site. Avignon, 14 km from the Palais des Papes, offers a different outing: the Gothic palace bears witness to the period when the city was home to the papacy, while Pont Saint-Bénézet is one of its best-known landmarks. The stations at Entraigues-sur-la-Sorgue and Monteux serve nearby towns.

The region can be visited throughout the year, with generally milder temperatures in spring and autumn for exploring Avignon or the surrounding villages. In summer, hot days are well suited to breaks by the pool and outings early in the morning or late in the afternoon. You can spend a day visiting Avignon’s monuments, then set aside another for Monteux’s attractions or country lanes. Provençal markets and the landscapes of Vaucluse round out the itinerary, depending on the season and what you’d like to see.
