The entrance to the hotel is very run down. All the reception staff seemed to teenagers with varying levels of English spoken which caused confusion. There was a power cut (?) so the restaurant was closed (disappointing) and the fridge in my room didn't work, pretty bad considering the temperature outside. I was disappointed in my stay as I paid about £180 for one night. I would expect better for that expense.

Popular places to visit

Rue des Teinturiers

You can learn about the history of Avignon with a trip to Rue des Teinturiers. Discover the festivals and cathedral in this walkable area.

Gothic façade of the Saint Pierre Church in Avignon. Located right in the center of town, a stone's throw from the Aubanel printing museum, the Place Saint Pierre, cobbled with shingle stones, is the church square for the parish church that bears the same name.

Saint-Pierre had been rebuilt in 1385, thanks to a donation from the Cardinal Pierre de Près. Unfortunately we cannot enter and admire the panelling, the altarpiece, the pulpit or the paintings, one of which is the "Adoration of the Shepherds" by Simon de Chalons. But its façade, in flamboyant Provençal Gothic, is the most embellished of all of Avignon's churches and its doors alone merit a look.
