The apartment is located one block from the main street of Avignon known as Rue de la République. The train station of Avignon center is 100 meters away. Restaurants, cafés and shops are everywhere. 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. 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.
