Location & what to see
Avignon lies on the left bank of the Rhône, in Vaucluse, amid the landscapes of Provence. Its historic centre is surrounded by city walls and is easy to explore on foot, among old streets, lively squares and stone façades. La Petite Saunerie is set within this historic fabric, on a central street where monuments and local amenities are a short distance apart. The neighbourhood suits travellers drawn to heritage, museums and urban walks.
The Palace of the Popes dominates the city and tells the story of Avignon’s role in the history of the papacy. Nearby, Notre-Dame-des-Doms Cathedral and Place de l’Horloge extend the visit around historic buildings and terraces. Pont Saint-Bénézet, made famous by the song “Sur le pont d’Avignon”, offers a walk with views of the Rhône and its scenery. Les Halles d'Avignon is a place to discover local produce and regional specialities. Avignon-Centre railway station is 800 m away; the TGV station is 4.5 km away. The city can be explored on foot from the centre, and no parking is available on site.
Avignon can be visited all year round, with a particularly vibrant cultural scene in summer during the Festival d’Avignon. A day can combine a visit to the Palace of the Popes, a walk through the streets within the city walls and a break at Les Halles. In spring and autumn, the temperatures are pleasant for walks along the Rhône and in the Provençal villages nearby. In summer, allow time for indoor visits during the hottest hours and enjoy the evenings in the old centre.
