If you remember "Sur le pont", Hurry down to Avignon. A warm welcome there you'll find, plenty sights to fill your mind.
Relax at Hotel Maganeraie, after a rather busy day. This 15th century papal mansion has all mod cons you could imagine, wonderful food excellent wine and you'll want to return another time.
The benches at the SNCF station are hard and not at all comfortable to sleep on overnight.
Walk 200 yards into town and you'll find some charming, inexpensive and welcoming small hotels.
For travellers arriving in the south after a TGV journey - like flying while remaining on the ground - the Cloitre St Louis is a wonderful place to start a holiday. Rooftop pool, breakfast of good things in the courtyard and a choice between the stripped modernity of Jean Nouvel in the newish extension or more conventional rooms in the older part of this ancient, but luxurious hotel - all for far less than a comparable British hotel.
The charming yet modern La Banasterie is one of the most lovely hotels I have ever stayed in.
With only four rooms, chocolate presents for guests, and generous pastry breakfasts, you are bound to have an amazing stay.
