Avignon (Provence - Ranska)

Luxury boutique hotels in Avignon

Avignon is situated between the Provence and the Languedoc, near the Mediterranean sea, between Italy and Spain. The legendary city at the river Rhone looks back on a history of 600 years - it even served once for the Pope's seat.

This city of history and events will not leave indifferent. The well preserved Pope's Palace of the 16th century, the famous bridge, the museums, the old lanes and many other sights will amaze you.

Visit at all costs the antiquarians' quarter and the Place de l'Horloge and do not miss the view from the ramparts! Avignon lies majestically in the Rhone's plains and you will understand why this sublime fortress was built here: the strategic position could not be better.
