Remember you arrive at Avignon Central, not the TGV station so don’t try to hire a car from the wrong place. The Grand Hotel by the station is fine and the walk through the city gates and up to the Palace is easy and interesting. The café on Rue Saint Michel at the corner of Rue Paul Manivet opens early on Sundays and has the best coffee. Enjoy!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15993 Eglise St Pierre http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15968 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15968 Hotel de Blauvac http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15967 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15967 La Banasterie Guesthouse http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14376
It is located slap bang in the centre of the maze like citadel, but on a quiet side street and with excellent restaurants within a one-minute walk.

Jean-Michel and Francoise make the ancient house terribly atmospheric with fairy lights and by lighting the stairs and halls by candlelight at night.

If you would like a home from home, with an authentic french atmosphere, I couldn’t recommend this place more highly!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14376 Campsite on Isle de la Basthelasse http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14353 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14353 Avignon festival http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14328 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14328 The Vacluse http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14287 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14287 Visit Alpilles http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14276 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14276 The charm of Avignon http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14275 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14275 Festival d'Avignon http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14272 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14272 Villeneuve les Avignon http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14263 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14263 Holiday Inn Express hotel http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14237
Avignon is a beautiful. Not to be missed, though, is a journey to the Roman aqueduct at Pont du Gard and also the amphitheatre in Nimes. When we visited, a bull fight was being staged and people were streaming in to watch the slaughter; the matadors could easily have been gladiators.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14237
