Avignon is a Provençal city in Vaucluse, surrounded by medieval city walls and crossed by the Rhône. Cours Jean Jaurès connects the central railway station with the old town; its streets lead to squares, historic façades and museums. The city suits heritage enthusiasts, visitors coming for the festival and anyone wishing to explore Provence while still having the option of travelling by train.

The Palace of the Popes, a vast 14th-century papal residence, is open to visitors, with its halls and courtyards. Nearby, Pont Saint-Bénézet offers a glimpse into the history of the Rhône and a view of the river. Collection Lambert showcases contemporary art in two historic townhouses, while Musée Calvet houses art and archaeological collections. Avignon-Centre railway station is 260 m away and serves the regional centre; the TGV station is 2.8 km away. Avignon-Provence Airport is 9 km away. You can walk along the city walls, and the streets of the old town are easy to explore without a car.

In spring and autumn, mild temperatures are well suited to walks between the squares, museums and banks of the Rhône. In July, the Festival d’Avignon brings the city to life with performances in theatres and heritage venues; allow extra time for getting around the centre during this period. You can spend a day visiting the Palace of the Popes, taking a break in a shady square and exploring art collections. For trips beyond the city, the railway stations provide access to destinations across the region.
