Rognonas is a Provençal village in Bouches-du-Rhône, on the agricultural plain of the Durance. Life here moves at the pace of a small town, with a market, a church and local shops. This location suits travellers who want to explore Avignon and the surrounding area while staying outside the bustle of the city centre. A car makes it easier to travel to the villages and landscapes of the region.

Avignon is home to the area's main sights. The Palais des Papes, a vast Gothic building linked to papal history, dominates the old town; the Pont Saint-Bénézet and the medieval streets round out a day of sightseeing. Avignon TGV station is about 3 km from the hotel, and Avignon-Centre station provides access to the historic centre. In Châteaurenard, the castle and the Museum of Agricultural Tools and Traditions offer another outing focused on local heritage. Golf enthusiasts will also find Golf de Barbentane nearby.

Spring and autumn are pleasant times to explore Avignon on foot and visit Provençal villages without the summer heat. In July, the city hosts its theatre festival and the streets fill with performances and posters; allow extra time for getting around and sightseeing then. You can combine a day in Avignon's historic centre with a walk in the surrounding area, then return to Rognonas to enjoy the terrace or outdoor swimming pool.
