Châteaurenard lies in the Provençal plains, between Avignon and the landscapes of the Alpilles. The town retains the scale of a small market town, with historic landmarks set amid an agricultural landscape. It suits travellers who want to alternate heritage visits with time outdoors, without staying in a large city. You can plan your days around markets, walks in the countryside and visits to neighbouring towns.

Château de Châteaurenard, 2.6 km away, overlooks the town and recalls its medieval past. Avignon offers a trip to the Palace of the Popes and Pont Saint-Bénézet, both 7 km away: the former is worth visiting for its monumental architecture and papal history, while the bridge is one of the city’s landmarks. Avignon TGV railway station is 5.2 km away. Travelling by car makes it easier to visit the region’s scattered villages and sights; private parking at the holiday home is free.

Spring and autumn are well suited to walking tours and days out, with temperatures generally milder than in summer. In summer, plan outdoor visits for early morning or late afternoon, then enjoy the shaded areas and the swimming pool when it is open. You could spend a day exploring Avignon’s old town and taking a walk in Châteaurenard before returning to the garden. The region can also be explored through its agricultural landscapes and small Provençal roads, taking time to stop in the surrounding villages.
