Accepted Answer

If your trip to Avignon is all booked but your itinerary is a little on the empty side, we can give you a few hints and tips.

You'll have to rise and shine if you want to see all the fascinating sights that this place has to offer. Place de l'Horloge and Palais des Papes are non-negotiable. Musee du Petit Palais and Pont Saint-Bénézet shouldn't be overlooked either.

Stop by Avignon Cathedral. It's one sight you'll usually find on most visitors' to-do lists. If you still have space on your travel schedule, Rocher des Doms and Place Pie will keep you amused too.

More fun and adventure is just around the corner, so buckle up! Venture 25 miles down the road and stop by Maison Carree and Nîmes Museum of Natural History and Prehistory. You'll find these popular attractions in Nîmes. Aix-en-Provence is another destination to keep an eye out for. It's situated just 45 miles away. If you make the journey here, Cours Mirabeau and Place des Precheurs should be top of your itinerary.

Question 3

Where are the best convention centers near Avignon?

Accepted Answer

Here for business-related reasons? You'll be pleased to hear that Parc des Expositions has some awesome hotels and restaurants nearby. It's situated 5 miles from Avignon.

Question 4

What kind of rental car should I get for Avignon?

Accepted Answer

Having your own wheels in Avignon will give you more flexibility to go wherever you want at your leisure. Maybe you can't wait to leave the big city behind, explore country lanes, and see where the wind takes you. If that's the case, pick up the keys to one of our SUVs and explore the beautiful sandy shores in the area. If you're all about the bright lights of the city, slide behind the wheel of something small. Dashing around heavy traffic will be much less stressful with a mini or compact car.

Question 5

Should I get a luxury rental car in Avignon?

Accepted Answer

You'll be glad to hear that there's a huge range of luxurious rental vehicles available in Avignon. What you go with will depend on your funds and what you're planning to do. Prestige vehicles offer unparalleled mod cons and comfort. If you're splashing out, why not go for an SUV with all the bells and whistles, or perhaps a cushy mid-size sedan? Otherwise, if you just need a car to get from A to B as economically as possible, stick with a versatile compact vehicle (or something else that won't break the bank).
