Avignon is a Provençal city surrounded by ramparts, with medieval architecture and traces of its papal history. The hotel is in the south-western part of the centre, on boulevard Saint-Dominique, outside the ramparts. This is a convenient neighbourhood for walking to shopping streets and major monuments, while staying close to the railway stations. You can explore the old town on foot, passing its squares, historic façades and passages leading towards the Rhône.

The Palace of the Popes towers over the old town and recalls Avignon's role as a papal residence in the 14th century. Pont Saint-Bénézet, made famous by the song, offers a walk with views of the river and its banks. Collection Lambert showcases contemporary art in two townhouses, while Musée Calvet houses art and archaeological collections. Avignon-Centre station is about 600 m away; the TGV station is 2.4 km away. Free public on-street parking makes travelling by car easier, but the main sights in the centre can be visited on foot.

In spring and autumn, mild temperatures are well suited to sightseeing and sitting out on terraces. In July, the Festival d’Avignon brings performances to theatres, courtyards and streets, and the city is particularly busy. You can start the day with a visit to the palace, continue with a walk to the bridge and finish in the narrow streets of the old town. For a change of pace, the museums and ramparts offer cultural stops without leaving the city.
