Tourism in Avignon
Near the Limas you will have the pleasure of visiting on foot the
historic quarter with the Popes' Palace, the Saint-Benezet bridge,
the Petit Palais (famous for its collection of Italian paintings),
then wander in the garden on the Doms planted on the cliff dominating
the Rhone. The magnificent view of Villeneuve les Avignon, the Mont
Ventoux, the Saint Andre Fort shows you the scale and beauty Provence.
At the start of the "rue du Limas", the Place Crillon
offers you outdoor cafes, restaurants, and art galleries. In the
center of the square, across from the "Porte de l'Oulle" is the place where Moliere gave his first performance.
Not-to-be-missed shopping in the luxurious boutiques of the "rue
Joseph Vernet" just steps from the Place Crillon.
Midway along the "Rue Joseph Vernet", the Calvet Museum,
a magnificent 18th century private residence, permits you to discover
Avignon through the centuries as seen by the painters of different
eras.
The recent opening of the Lambert Foundation in a magnificent private
residence establishes contemporary art in Avignon.
As you return, the animation of the "Rue de la Republique" brings you to the Place de l'Horloge where artists put on a daily
show, playing for the pleasure of the passers-by.
Avignon is not just these recommendations near your accommodations
but much more as you discover the neighborhoods where your feet
and chance guide you...
