It was quiet, peaceful, and beautiful. The room was very comfortable with a lovely patio. A 10 minute drive to Aix en provence, plus they will take you there in a shuttle. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable.

Very nice and simple hotel. Great view from food sized roomroom. Helpful staff. Parking is a short walk away under another hotel. Front desk can help. You pull up in front on a crowded street, so drop off of bags needs to be quick. No parking in front. Close to many restaurants. All things considered, this is a great place to stay in Marseille. One downside was there was only one free outlet in the bedroom. Maybe another one in bathroom.

Popular places to visit

Avignon Cathedral

Celebrate mass in this resting place of 14th-century popes, or simply visit to enjoy the spiritual and artistic treasures within this beautiful Romanesque cathedral.

Pont d\'Avignon which includes a river or creek, a bridge and heritage elements

Pont Saint-Bénézet

One of Avignon’s most iconic landmarks is a bridge that literally goes nowhere, yet continues to draw travelers from all over the globe.

Palais des Papes

Built to house and protect France’s 14th-century popes, one of Europe’s largest Gothic palaces dominates Avignon’s skyline and cultural life.

Rue de la Republique

You can learn about the history of Avignon with a stop at Rue de la Republique. 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.

Eglise Saint Pierre

You can find out about the history of Avignon when you stop by Eglise Saint Pierre. Stroll along the area's riverfront or simply enjoy its local cheese shops.

Rocher des Doms

Avignon's historic hilltop park is a popular picnic and walking spot with spectacular views of the city, river, surrounding countryside and vineyards.
