Tourism

The Limas is located in the very heart of the old historic part of the town.

The St Bénézet bridge (the famous Pont d'Avignon), the Popes' Palace, the smaller palais, which houses a superb collection of primitive italian paintings.

You can stroll through the Gardens of the Rocher des Doms , from where you can take in fabulous views over the whole region of Provence - Villeneuve les Avignon, the Mont Ventoux, the Fort St André...

At the end of the rue du Limas is the Place Crillon with its busy terraces, its cafés and its art galleries. It is here, in the ancient theatre, facing the Porte de l'Oulle that Molière showcased his first ever play outside of Paris.

Just a few streets away you will come across 'Avignon's fashion Axis' with the rue Joseph Vernet and the rue St Agricol and their designer boutiques showcasing the latest (and the next) fashions.

On the bustling Place de l1Horloge, you can gaze up at the Clock there (a replica of the one of la Scala de Milan) which looks down upon the majestic artery, where there is never a dull moment.

Avignon is a town where you can simply wander for hours, forever chancing upon marvellous sites and buildings, be they centuries-old or very recent.

From here you can also discover very easily any number of fabulous places, such as Nîmes, Arles, the Pont du Gard, and the Duchy of Uzès, all harking back to the Roman Empire. Provence is equally renowned of course for its beautiful nature: you will adore the magnificence of sites such as those of les Baux de Provence, the Alpilles Mountains, the Luberon and the Mont Ventoux.
