Hot summer, mild winter, it lends itself all year round to a stroll through its historic heart. Papal Palace, Pont Saint-Bénézet (the famous Avignon bridge!), And a renowned festival made it the European capital of culture in 2000. A gourmet city, Avignon offers you papeton made from eggplant caviar and of eggs and a papaline, a pink chocolate candy. Beautiful ladies or gentlemen, come and dance in circles in Avignon!

Between the Angladon museum exhibiting collections of paintings and sculptures in a private mansion, the Calvet museum presenting Egyptian, Greek and Roman objects, or the lapidary museum, there is no shortage of places to perfect your culture while staying dry during the winter days! In spring, picnic at the Rocher des Doms, the view of the countryside and the river is worth the detour. In summer, opt for an excursion to the Pont du Gard or the Île de la Barthelasse, the green lung of Avignon.
