Serviced Apartments in Avignon

Avignon is a city in the South of France bordering the Rhône River. Almost 100,000 people live in the city including a large percentage that live in the ancient town centre, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Steeped in rich history and full of historical sights, a stay in an Avignon short term apartments will present you with a wonderful spectacle of European culture.

Very few French cities have preserved its city walls and ramparts as well as Avignon. It is within these walls that the most impressive historical streets and buildings are to be seen. Many of the buildings in this area were built in the mid-19th century and have been faithfully restored or renovated to maintain their stature. Of course, there are very few Avignon serviced apartments in the Old City, but plenty outside of the Old City walls.

If your preference for history goes back a little earlier, such sites as the Notre Dame des Doms and Palais des Papes (Papal Palace) may be more up your street, both dating back to the 14th century. Day trips are available to many of the most famous sights, and some companies will pick you up from your Avignon apartment rental. If you prefer to take yourself around the area, make sure you do not miss out on the many smaller churches and bridges dotted around the city.

The Avignon Festival has become famous as a highlight of the French theatre scene having been operating since 1947. Holiday rentals in Avignon become busy during the period of this festival, as its fame has spread far beyond this part of France. The festival includes all forms of theatrical art including cinema, dance and music as well as traditional theatre plays.

Avignon is generally small enough to walk around, especially inside the ancient city walls. However, there is a good bus service operating in the city as well as a well-established bike sharing program. Many holiday apartments in Avignon are very well situated and serve as a great base for your expeditions in and around the city centre.

Another great benefit of the geographical location of this city is its proximity to the south coast. The coastal cities of Marseille, Montpelier and Toulon are all under two hours’ drive away, making them ideal for a daytrip. The historical city of Nimes is also even closer.
