\"\"<\/a>In late November, the South of France<\/a> celebrates the region\u2019s grape harvest with the C\u00f4tes Du Rh\u00f4ne festival.<\/strong> Renowned vineyards offer tastings where C\u00f4tes du Rh\u00f4ne, C\u00f4tes du Ventoux and Coteaux du Luberon wines flow freely, and restaurants present special menus highlighting the culinary specialties of Avignon. New York Habitat\u2019s Hosted Two-Bedroom in the Center of Avignon (PR-969)<\/a> is an ideal accommodation in the South of France<\/a> this Fall <\/strong>to experience the wine celebration<\/strong><\/p>\n

This 18th century four-story townhouse has four bedrooms, each with en suite bathrooms. It is available as a Bed & Breakfast accommodation, or as a private rental, depending on the owner\u2019s availability. The first floor living room has a sofa, armchairs and a large marble table that seats 8. An intricately tiled fireplace, tall mirror over the mantle and tasteful antique furniture complete the room. Large, paned windows in the living room give a view of the courtyard and small street. Visitors will appreciate the sparkling white walls and \u201cclean\u201d d\u00e9cor throughout.<\/p>\n

\"ChurchThe house is located in small one-way street of Avignon near the Place de l\u2019Horloge and the town\u2019s shops. But the best feature of the house is its privileged spot overlooking the famous Pope\u2019s Palace, which can be seen from the terrace.<\/strong> Built in the 14th Century, it is the largest Gothic palace in Europe, and is open to visitors. Avignon was considered the center of Christendom when the popes chose to reside there.<\/p>\n

Another attraction in Avignon<\/a> is the St. Benezet Bridge, built in 1177, originally crafted entirely of wood. At that time, Avignon became the only place between Lyon and the Mediterranean to cross the Rhone, so the city developed into a hub for travelers, merchants and manufacturers. Still standing are many of the mansions full of private art collections, most of which are public museums. Landscaped gardens, the Roman amphitheater and the house of Vincent Van Gogh provide more reasons for strolling around town.<\/p>\n

\"TheaterWine lovers will be delighted with the wealth of wine estates around Avignon.<\/strong> The area is known for its Syrah and Grenache grapes which produce powerful reds, as well as the rarer Viognier grape. The wines from the best 16 villages in the region bear their own “C\u00f4tes du Rh\u00f4ne-Villages AOC\u201d certification. Along with sampling wine, be sure to go by the Farmer\u2019s Market, which is one of the best in southern France.<\/p>\n
