    Villeneuve-Lez-Avignon

    Posted by JanetC 18 September 2005

    On the opposite bank of the Rhone, this perfect little village is stuffed with amazing Medieval buildings.

    For just over €6 you can get an "Avignon Passion" pass ticket which gives you entry to a monastery, a fortified tower (with the best views of Avignon and the Pont Saint-Benezet, the latter being the correct name for "Sur la pont...") a castle, an abbey garden and three other ancient gems.

    The village square has several good bar/restaurants serving reasonably priced local dishes (about €8).

    From Avignon cross the Rhone on the bridge signed "Ile Piot", turn right on the far bank and follow signs for Villeneuve a few hundred metres along.Map: tinyurl.com/ys3mhj
