I am There for a few Days…
You can visit the historic centre of Avignon and see the Rocher des Domes and the Palais des Papes. The famous bridge of Avalon has only 4 arches left, but is still worth the visit. Once you have seen everything the city has to offer, you can drive out to towns like
Orange and
Nimes, as Avignon is seen as the gateway to Provence.
- Three of the routes in and out of Avignon are seasonal with only Leeds Bradford and Southampton routes operating all year round. This may have a bearing on when you decide to travel as many of the flights don't commence until after the Easter break and finish before the end of the October half term holidays.
