Avignon stretches along the banks of the Rhône in Provence, behind a ring of ramparts surrounding its historic centre. The streets within the city walls combine old houses, lively squares and medieval landmarks; you can explore the area on foot and stop at museums or gardens. The city suits stays focused on heritage, as well as stopovers between the landscapes of Provence and the Rhône Valley.

The Palace of the Popes overlooks the squares of the old town and tells the story of Avignon’s leading role in the 14th century. From the riverbanks, Pont Saint-Bénézet offers another view of local history and the Rhône. The Collection Lambert and the city-centre museums offer art and archaeology exhibitions. Avignon-Centre station is close to the hotel; the TGV station provides onward connections to other cities. The ramparts mark the entrances to the old town, and historic gates line its walking routes. The Palace of the Popes is 900 m away, while Pont Saint-Bénézet is 1.1 km away.

Summer attracts many visitors, and the Festival d’Avignon brings theatre and performances to the city in July. Spring and early autumn are good times to enjoy the streets and landmarks in a quieter atmosphere. A day could combine a visit to the Palace, a walk along the ramparts and a look around the art collections, before heading to the banks of the Rhône in the late afternoon. The countryside of Provence and the villages of the valley also make day trips from Avignon.
