Then you can also stop by Aix-en-Provence, another city famous for its colorful markets and traditional Provençal cuisine, such as bouillabaisse, ratatouille, and tapenade. You might also want to visit the quaint town of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, known for its artistic heritage and Roman ruins.

Driving through these remarkable locations in southern France at your own pace will allow you to create memories you want to remember.

Avignon’s heyday happened in the 14th century when it became the capital of the papacy from 1309 to 1377. The pope during that time moved the papacy from Italy as he feared it was too dangerous for the church there. Also, he believed the papacy would be more secure under the support of a French king.

In 1995, Avignon was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its papal legacy, offering memorable experiences to several visitors until today, filled with cafés, shops, and squares perfect for taking photographs and people-watching. As you spend your day in Avignon, you can head over and discover its notable attractions. These include:

• Palais des Papes (Popes’ Palace of Avignon)
• Jardin des Doms (Doms Garden)
• Pont Saint-Bénézet, also known as Pont d'Avignon
• Les Halles d'Avignon, Avignon’s indoor market
• Calvet Museum
• Pont du Gard, an ancient Roman aqueduct bridge
• Avignon Cathedral

Then you have Rocher des Doms nearby, a beautiful garden treating you to views of the Rhône River and the surrounding areas.

For those who wish to learn and immerse into the culture of Avignon, some of the best venues are the Musée du Petit Palais, the Collection Lambert, and the Calvet Museum. The Musée du Petit Palais houses Medieval art and artifacts, including more than 300 Italian primitives and sculptures from the 1100s to the 1500s.

Meanwhile, Collection Lambert is a contemporary art museum in 18th-century mansions in the heart of the city. Calvet Museum has a civic collection of artworks from the 1700s to the 1800s, including French paintings and ancient Egyptian artifacts.

Shop and dine

Avignon is not just a melting pot of history and culture, but it has also become so modern that it’s an ideal destination for shopping and food. Experience Provençal cuisine at a local bistro. Some of the best restaurants that serve these delights are Avenio, L’atelier, and Maison de la Tour.

The city is also a shopper’s paradise. Don’t miss the chance to visit Les Halles d'Avignon, an indoor market offering a variety of local produce and specialties. Avignon Antiquites Antiquae, Brocante de Avignon-Place Pie, and L'élémentaire are also great places to shop while you’re there.

We say spring (from April to June) and autumn (from September to October) are the best time to visit Avignon. The shoulder seasons offer milder weather, fewer tourists, and a more relaxed atmosphere, making these seasons ideal for a visit. The Les Hivernales dance festival and the Résonance electro-music festival are some of the events you can attend.
