Avignon -also known as the Popes' city- has a wealthy historical and artistic heritage. Its formidable stronghold Popes' Palace overlooks the wide expanse of the Rhone River plain and the encircled city. Do not miss the Old Sextier district, which is one of the most typical walks in the heart of Avignon. A few blocks from our charming Bed & Breakfast, it goes from the Place Pie to Rue du Vieux Sextier, a paved street with famous for its paddle wheel. The Belli building, situated on the corner of the Rue des Fourbisseurs is one of the oldest buildings in Avignon. If you want to see one of the most beautiful views of Avignon and its famous uncompleted bridge, you should go the island of Barthelasse. This large island formerly was a refuge for outlaws and deserters in the past centuries. The exceptional view over the city is best admired at sunset ; many paintings and etchings have been made of it. Of course, Avignon is also famous for its summer theater festival. Restaurants, cafés and shops are everywhere.
