Over the bridge gets you to Villeneuve-les-Avignon, which is quieter and more bearable than Avignon proper. It's also in the Gard rather than Vaucluse, so it's gutsy Languedoc rather than pretentious Provence.

There's a good campsite, bars and restaurants which are affordable. From there you can make raids on foot to the cultural quarters, and still get back for a quiet pastis.

The campsite on the southern end of the Isle de la Basthelasse has great views across the river to the old city. Worth an evening stroll even if you aren't camping there.

When staying on a budget in this beautiful part of the world, I would recommend the local campsite which is just across the river.

The camspite has great facilities, including a pool. The money saved allows you to spend a little extra in some of the amazing restaurants the town has to offer.

If camping, use the Pont d'Avignon campsite. Not only is it situated on a beautiful island in the centre of the Rhone, but there is a free ferry service to the city from 10am-5pm daily ... a great way to travel to the city.

Superbly equipped "naturiste" camping site.

Rather hidden, right down in a spectacular river valley in the South of France.

Choose to swim in the river Ceze, or in their two good-sized pools.

Very relaxed atmosphere, beautiful surroundings, immaculate facilities including sauna, cafe, bar, etc.

Outside, there's fantastic food in local village restaurants.

Come with your own tent, or rent a comfortably equipped woden beach-hut onsite from just 350 Euros/week.

It's really perfect for all families and kids!

But remember, it's a “camping naturiste”: there's one strict rule - no wearing clothes allowed on site. So you’ll have no laundry at all for a whole, lovely, lazy week!
