Avignon is a Provençal city shaped by its past as a papal city and by the ramparts surrounding its historic centre. Mas Château Blanc is in the eastern part of the city, in an area where the garden and pool offer a break from the old streets. A car is useful for reaching the centre, about a 12-minute drive away. This property suits travellers who want to visit Avignon's monuments and return to a quieter outdoor setting after a day out.

The Palais des Papes overlooks the square of the same name and bears witness to Avignon's political and religious role in the 14th century. Pont Saint-Bénézet, made famous by the song, ends halfway across the Rhône and offers another view of the city and its fortifications. You can walk along the ramparts around the old town, while Notre-Dame-des-Doms Cathedral and the Musée du Petit Palais round out a day of sightseeing. The Palais des Papes is 3.7 km from the property; Avignon TGV station is 10 km away.

The historic centre is best explored on foot, taking time to wander from shaded squares to narrow lanes and old courtyards. In summer, the Festival d’Avignon brings the city to life with theatre performances and shows at various heritage sites; it is best to plan your outings in advance. In spring and autumn, temperatures are often suitable for walking tours and breaks at outdoor cafés. A day can take in the Palais des Papes, the ramparts and a walk along the banks of the Rhône, before you return to the garden and pool at Mas Château Blanc.
