Boulbon is a Provençal village in Bouches-du-Rhône, on the Rhône plain between Avignon and Tarascon. Its lanes, old houses and hilltop château give it a village feel, far removed from the scale of a large city. You can stroll on foot, explore the area around the château and enjoy a quieter pace than in Avignon. It suits travellers looking to combine heritage, small roads through Provence and excursions in the surrounding area.

Château de Boulbon is 100 m away and stands out in the local landscape. Boulbon village and Chapelle Saint-Victor are also nearby. Avignon is 13 km away, with the Palace of the Popes and Pont Saint-Bénézet, two major sights in the historic city. Tarascon and Beaucaire stations are 7 km away, while Avignon TGV station is 15 km away. Nîmes-Alès-Camargue-Cévennes Airport is 24 km away. A car makes it easier to travel between the villages and the region’s different sights.

In spring and autumn, temperatures are often well suited to walking and days out in nearby towns. In summer, the Provençal heat makes it worth planning walks for the morning or late afternoon, then enjoying the terrace and garden. You could spend one day among Boulbon’s lanes and Avignon’s monuments, and another between Tarascon and the villages of the Rhône Valley. Markets and agricultural landscapes also offer a glimpse of local life.
