Discover the guest rooms in Avignon

Two hours and forty minutes by TGV train separate Avignon from Paris. The capital of the Popes is then only an hour’s drive from Marseille, 45 minutes from Aix, and a good hour from the sea! So many arguments in favour of a holiday rental in Avignon! Gateway to Provence, a city of art as much as of history, Avignon is the ideal destination for a stay with family, friends or lovers. You can choose your holiday rental in Avignon among a multitude of proposals. The guest rooms in Avignon are numerous, the welcome is pleasant and your host will advise you on walks and discoveries. Avignon is indeed a city with a particularly rich heritage, as confirmed by the inevitable Palace of the Popes, built in the 14th century. Immense, it dominates the square of the same name with its impressive walls. Its pavements are magnificent, as is its furniture. It hosts temporary exhibitions and its main courtyard becomes, in July, the emblematic venue for one of the most prestigious theatre festivals in the world. If you choose to rent a bed and breakfast in Avignon, it is highly recommended that you look for a bed and breakfast near the Vernet district which, in addition to the beautiful museums Calvet (Vernet, Corot, Soutine in particular are exhibited there), Requien and Louis-Vouland, there are magnificent private mansions. You have to keep your eyes open to admire the sculpted doors, the ornate windows and the small hidden courtyards. The very majestic Place Crillon can also be the occasion for a pleasant coffee break, and one should not hesitate to go down the pedestrian streets to reach the picturesque Rue des Teinturiers, whose wooden wheels turn tirelessly with the waves of one of the many resurgences of the Sorgue.
