Only a few miles north of Avignon is the village where the popes used to retire during the summer; a beautiful medieval little town, it is well known for the superb red wine that is produced in the vineyards that surround it and that can be bought locally. All the bottles, of a greenish colour, have the coat of arms of the popes bearing The Keys of San Peter and the pope's hat engraved in the glass.

Tour the city for 2 days then hire a car and visit the Cotes du Rhon vineyards, the Vaucluse area, and the village of Bedoin on Mondays for a market to adore.
