Location & what to see
Avignon is a Provençal city on the banks of the Rhône, known for its walled historic centre and medieval heritage. La Banasterie is in the old town’s narrow streets, where historic façades, shaded squares and passageways make for a lively neighbourhood throughout the year. The area suits visitors who want to explore the heritage on foot and enjoy the atmosphere of a southern French city between visits.
The Palais des Papes dominates the area: this vast fortified residence bears witness to Avignon’s role in the 14th century. Pont Saint-Bénézet, associated with the song “Sur le pont d’Avignon”, offers a historic walk beside the river. Notre-Dame-des-Doms Cathedral and the Musée du Petit Palais add to the sights around Place du Palais. Avignon-Centre station is 850 m away and connects the centre with regional routes. The city walls frame walks through the central streets, where you can also stop at Place de l’Horloge or the garden at Rocher des Doms.
A day could begin with a visit to the Palais des Papes, continue through the galleries of the Musée du Petit Palais and end with a walk towards the Rhône. In summer, the Festival d’Avignon fills the city with performances and cultural events; temperatures can be high, making morning visits pleasant. Spring and late season offer good conditions for walks in the old town. To explore beyond the city walls, the landscapes of the Luberon and Provençal villages are easier to reach by car.
