To discover Avignon...

Avignon has for centuries found itself as a crossroads for commerce, culture, and the quest for power and control. Separated by the ruins of the Saint-Benezet Bridge along the Rhone River, Avignon lies on and traces the historic border between the kingdom of France and the Papal Authority established in the XIV century, when Avignon became the center of the Christian world. Roman ruins such as the Pont du Gard Aquaduct, amphitheaters, and arenas are just minutes away.

Vineyards, fields of lavender, romantic villages, picturesque market places, and gourmet cuisine all are among the scents and colors that make the region around Avignon so magnificent. It is this spectacular scenery that inspired Cezanne, Van Gogh, Chagall and other great artists to create their most colorful and impressive paintings.
