Avignon Vacation Rental |
Luxury Apartment in Avignon |
| Avignon is a city of culture, in the heart of beautiful Provence. When Pope Clement V took up residence in 1309, the city became the centre of the Christian world for 100 years with buildings and art to match. These are now listed as 'Unesco World Heritage Sites'. Capital of Côtes du Rhône wines and provençal gastronomy, eating and drinking is a delight in the many restaurants and street cafés. The surrounding countryside is packed with top quality vineyards, with tasting and purchase possible. The theatre festival in July with more than 600 performances attracts enthusiasts worldwide. Year round there is opera, ballet and orchestral music. Grand Avignon Golf (10 mins by car) is an 18 hole par 72 golf course set in 150 acres. Further afield, Paris is only 2 hours 40 mins by train and Marseille and the coast are only 35 mins. The beauty of rural Provence, with 300 days of sunshine a year, is all around! |
