Avignon is a Provençal city on the left bank of the Rhône, known for its ramparts, old lanes and medieval architecture. Hôtel de l'Horloge faces Place de l’Horloge, a lively square in the historic centre, lined with old façades and close to the main sights. The area is easy to explore on foot, with its narrow streets, shady squares and stone buildings. It suits travellers who want to combine heritage, café terrace breaks and walks around the city.

The Palais des Papes dominates Avignon’s historic skyline and houses one of Europe’s major medieval Gothic complexes. Pont Saint-Bénézet, known from the song “Sur le Pont d’Avignon”, offers a walk among the remains of the bridge and views over the Rhône. The ramparts still encircle the old town and can be explored at several points. Les Halles d’Avignon is a place to discover local produce and specialities. Avignon-Centre station is about 700 m away; the TGV station is 3.2 km away, with connections to other French cities.

Spring and autumn are pleasant seasons for exploring the streets and historic sights at a relaxed pace. In summer, Avignon hosts its famous theatre festival, turning the city into a stage with performances in venues and streets; visitor numbers rise considerably at this time. You could start the day with a visit to the Palais des Papes, continue with a walk to the Rhône and finish in the lanes inside the city walls. From Avignon, the villages and landscapes of the Luberon and the hills of the Alpilles are suitable for day trips by car.
