Avignon: A Window on History and Culture in Provence
Nested in the heart of the Vaucluse region, Avignon attracts visitors with its rich historical heritage and vibrant cultural scene. Known worldwide for its theatre festival, this city offers much more, with UNESCO World Heritage sites and a vibrant atmosphere. Clévacances guides you through this iconic city, offering comfortable stays ideally located to explore its treasures.
A Town Steeped in History
Avignon is famous for its impressive Palais des Papes, a fortress that bears witness to its past as the centre of Christianity in the 14th century. A visit to this palace will transport you back in time, with its majestic halls and medieval frescoes. A short walk away, the Pont Saint-Bénézet, better known as the Pont d'Avignon, evokes the famous song and offers picturesque views over the Rhône.
Cultural capital of Provence
Every summer, Avignon is transformed into an open-air stage with the Festival d'Avignon, one of the biggest contemporary theatre festivals in the world. The streets come alive with shows, attracting artists and theatre lovers from all walks of life. However, the city isn't just lively in summer; throughout the year, exhibitions, concerts and cultural events are organised, reflecting Avignon's artistic vitality.
Refined Gastronomy
Provençal cuisine, famous for its flavours and local produce, takes pride of place in Avignon. Discover markets such as Les Halles, a gourmet's paradise where you can sample everything from local cheeses to fresh fruit from the Luberon. The city's restaurants serve a variety of regional dishes, such as daube provençale or ratatouille, accompanied of course by a glass of Côtes du Rhône wine.
