Avignon is definitely not a town to stay in if you're interested in sightseeing the surrounding countryside and don't have much time. Once in Avignon, you won't want to leave, and the town is too interesting to let you go. Avignon is ancient, full of history, life, youth, art, music and activity. Just to "see" the town itself, you could wander the narrow streets inside the fortified walls. Avignon is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. |
|  | First recorded, in Roman texts from the first century BC, the name Avignon
comes from "Avenio" which means "town of violent winds" or "town of the river |
| | In summer, the month-long Festival d'Avignon includes classical and contemporary theater productions |
