Avignon can be explored through its old streets, lively squares and ramparts, which still trace the outline of the historic city. The hotel is set within this urban fabric, where stone façades and narrow lanes lead to major monuments. The neighbourhood suits visitors who enjoy exploring on foot, stopping at a museum or finding a terrace after a day of sightseeing. Les Halles and the central squares also offer a glimpse of everyday life in Avignon.

The Palais des Papes is the highlight of a visit to the city: this former papal palace can be explored for its monumental rooms and courtyards. Close by, the Pont Saint-Bénézet, known as the Pont d’Avignon, tells the story of crossing the Rhône. Avignon Cathedral and Place de l’Horloge round off a walk through the centre. Avignon-Centre station is within walking distance, while the TGV station is outside the historic centre. A car offers more freedom for reaching nearby attractions; the hotel has no parking.

Avignon can be visited throughout the year, with particularly lively activity in July during the Festival d’Avignon and its theatre performances. In spring and autumn, temperatures are often milder for exploring the streets and ramparts. A day can combine a visit to the Palais des Papes with a break in the gardens and a walk to the Rhône. In summer, it is best to plan outdoor sightseeing for the morning or late afternoon. Visitors can also spend half a day at the museums and in the old lanes before heading to the squares for the evening.
