Nord Rocade

This residential area on Avignon's northern ring road offers travelers an authentic slice of everyday French suburban life. Families thrive in this quieter district where local boulangeries fill morning air with fresh bread aromas. Budget-conscious visitors appreciate the lower accommodation rates compared to the historic center. The neighborhood serves as an ideal gateway to central Avignon's treasures. Regular bus routes connect to the city center while the ring road position makes exploring Provence simple. Basic shops and family-run bistros with traditional Provençal cuisine cater primarily to locals rather than tourists.

This peaceful green haven offers spectacular views of medieval Avignon's skyline just a short walk across the bridge. Walking paths along the water reveal picture-perfect scenes of the famous Pont d'Avignon. The island charms visitors with its authentic countryside character and traditional French farmhouses. Cyclists love the flat, car-free paths winding through organic farms and shaded lanes. Local farm stands sell fresh Provençal produce while a handful of charming bistros serve regional cuisine with garden views.

Quartier Ouest

Quartier Ouest might not have many top sights, but Avignon Festival and Rue de la Republique are two attractions nearby that you can check out.

Montfavet

Experience authentic Provençal life in Montfavet, a peaceful residential area on the outskirts of Avignon. The neighborhood revolves around the historic Église Saint-Pierre, surrounded by cypress trees and traditional stone houses with terracotta roofs.

Top Avignon Hotel Reviews

Novotel Avignon Centre

Novotel Avignon Centre

10/10 Excellent
"This is a great choice for visiting Avignon. It is right across from the walled city and it’s super easy to walk to restaurants, coffee and the main sites. It’s on a main road but the hotel is quiet. It’s a modern hotel with great amenities - the pool and bar are cute, the restaurant is good (Cesar salad with chicken was nice), and the rooms are clean. The air conditioning works well - it’s up to American standards, which is great when it’s hot. Incredibly helpful staff! We had a few issues in Avignon and they were so helpful and kind with things like helping us place local calls and change reservations, a very late check out, etc. Great English skills but they will let you practice your French if you want. Honestly, you won’t regret choosing this."
