Villeneuve-les-Avignon is a charming medieval village just across the Rhône from Avignon, reputedly favored by cardinals during the latter city's 14th-century era as the seat of the papacy. Vestiges of this unique history are easily discovered throughout Villeneuve, which today also offers charming shops and a fine Provençal market. From your home base, enjoy day trips to artistic and historic Avignon. Named "City of Arts," its celebrated monuments have recently been listed as one of UNESCO's World Heritage sites. Must-sees include the Palais des Papes, the Papal Palace and the Pope's residence during the 14th century, considered one of the most important gothic palaces in Europe. Stroll on the Saint Bénezet Bridge, the Pont d'Avignon stretching part way across the Rhône River. Walk the city walls and quaint alleys or explore shops and cafes that are abundant in this thriving city.

Villeneuve-les-Avignon is ideally located within easy reach of the beautiful towns and villages of Provence. Daytrip possibilities include Aix en Provence, Cézanne's hometown, colorful Arles, favored by Vincent Van Gogh, Lacoste, Ménerbes, the corner of Provence often known as Peter Mayle's country (author of A Year in Provence), Gordes, Roussillon, and La Fontaine du Vaucluse.
