Beneath the imposing Palais des Papes, where medieval pontiffs once ruled, cobblestone streets wind through a UNESCO-protected wonderland. Sip rosé at a café on Place de l'Horloge while street performers entertain beneath ancient plane trees. The famous half-bridge, Pont d'Avignon, stretches mysteriously into the Rhône, stopping mid-river as if time itself intervened. Duck into Musée du Petit Palais for remarkable Italian primitive paintings or time a visit during the Festival d'Avignon when the entire city transforms into a stage. The remarkably intact medieval walls encircle treasures like Avignon Cathedral and Musée Angladon. For the best photos, climb Rocher des Doms garden at sunset when the papal palace glows golden against the Provençal sky.

Hotel Le Cloitre St Louis

Hotel Le Cloitre St Louis

8/10 Good
"The hotel is split between a new building and an old building built in 1589. We were in the old building. Our room was quite large, especially by European standards with very high cieling typical of old buildings. We had a modern w/c and bathroom, and lots of racks and shelves for cloths. The room was spotlessly clean, but the paintwork on the windows (origial to 1589?) and the closet doors needed a refresh. Breakfast for 18 Euros was excellent. There is a pool with a sizable deck on the roof of the hotel, but it was closed for the season in late October. The hotel is well located just inside the city walls, a short walk from the railway station(not the TGV station), and about a 15 minute walk to the Papal Palace. There are lots of restaurants nearby."
