Avignon is best explored within its city walls, among old lanes, shaded squares and pale stone façades. Hotel Le Magnan is in this historic part of the city, where walks take you from shopping streets to monuments and gardens. The atmosphere combines everyday Provençal life, medieval heritage and cultural activity, particularly during the Festival d'Avignon in July.

The Palais des Papes, a vast Gothic palace that bears witness to the popes' time in Avignon in the 14th century, is about 850 m away on foot. Pont Saint-Bénézet, famous for its song and its surviving arches above the Rhône, is 1.1 km away. Les Halles d'Avignon brings together local producers and regional specialities; this covered market is a place to discover the flavours of Vaucluse. Avignon-Centre railway station is 550 m away, making it easy to arrive without a car and travel to other towns in the region. Nîmes-Alès-Camargue-Cévennes Airport is 36 km away.

For a day in the city, spend the morning at the palace and in the old town streets, then cross the squares and gardens before heading to the banks of the Rhône in the late afternoon. Museums and art collections offer another way to discover Avignon, while the markets let you sample Provençal produce. Spring and autumn are well suited to exploring on foot in generally milder temperatures; in summer, the festival brings performances and a lively atmosphere to the streets. From Avignon, the villages and vineyards of Vaucluse also make for day trips.
