Le Pontet lies north of Avignon, in the Rhône plain, among residential neighbourhoods, business areas and routes leading to the historic city. It suits travellers who want to visit Avignon by car while staying outside its ramparts. The shops in the Avignon Nord area give this neighbourhood a practical feel, distinct from the old town’s narrow streets. You can head into the city for a day of sightseeing, then return to Le Pontet’s main roads and services.

Avignon brings together several major sites from Provence’s history. The Palace of the Popes bears witness to the papal presence in the 14th century and dominates the old town. Pont Saint-Bénézet, famous from the song, ends in the middle of the Rhône and offers a visitor route with views of the river. The ramparts still surround much of the old town, where pedestrian streets lead to squares and monuments. Sorgues–Châteauneuf-du-Pape railway station is 3.2 km away; a car makes it easier to travel between Le Pontet and Avignon’s different districts. The Palace of the Popes and Pont Saint-Bénézet are 6 km away.

For a first visit, set aside a day for the historic centre: visit the palace, walk along the ramparts and leave time to explore the central streets. In summer, the Festival d’Avignon brings performances to venues and historic sites across the city, and visitor numbers rise considerably. Spring and early autumn are often milder times to explore the city. An excursion to nearby villages and wine estates can round off your visit, while the Rhône and its riverbanks offer another glimpse of the local landscape.
