This bedroom is better for teen agers or a couple for a short stay since not very large.

Between the 2 levels, bathroom consisting of italian shower and toilets.

Air Conditioning in the living room and the 2 bedrooms.

Incredible stay!!

This is an incredible place! The photo’s absolutely do not do it justice and Alain was a generous host. We never got tired of working out onto our view and would highly recommend this property to anyone. (unless you can’t do stairs that is, otherwise it’s perfect!)

Avignon Tranquility

The apartment is a hidden gem right on the Place Des Papes. It is in an historic building and well equipped The view on to the shaded garden, complete with resident cat, is sublime and very peaceful. Alain, the owner, is very hospitable and helpful. All the main sights, museums, shops and restaurants are very close by, and the Avignon Central station is a short walk away. Highly recommended.

Perfect spot

This apartment was a great size, very chic and in the middle of all the sights. It was very quiet inside and then a step out the main door and everything you want in Avignon is right there to soak up. Alain was very responsive and helpful with any information we were seeking.

Excellent location!

We stayed here for 9 nights which gave us time to explore Avignon well and to use it as an excellent base to return to after various day trips. We took the train (easy walk to Avignon station) to L'Orange, Arles and Marseille. All were lovely day trips although Marseille being further and larger, we were only able to see the highlights. We also rented a car to drive in the countryside of the Luberon Valley and to Pont du Gard. The views are gorgeous in these areas. Always nice to come back to this apartment after a day of exploring. Alain's place is spacious for 2-3 people, it does have a set of stairs to the main floor and another to the bedrooms. Having the Palace across from your front entrance is a bonus as it's such a remarkable monument. Alain is a very friendly and kind host.

Ideal Location

Directly across from the Palais de Papes. Beautifully decorated, very comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen. Restaurants at your doorstep, markets a short walk. The perfect location in this enchanting walled city. Alain is an excellent host who gave us recommendations of where to shop, what to see. We spent a wonderful week in this apartment.

A Very French Apartment

Alain's place has all you need for an extended stay in Avignon. A great location, a well appointed kitchen and dining area, and a very comfy bed. That said, this would not be a good place for someone who might have trouble negotiating stairs. My wife and I are in our mid 70's in good health and physical shape and we had no problems with the apartment. A good restaurant is right outside the front door. Stay off the main drag and explore the city on foot if you can. The Calvet Museum is a must see and the best of all the museums in Avignon. Some nice Brueghel the Younger paintings are there. Great little sandwich shop on the main drag, Rue de la Republique and the corner of Rue Mignard. The Palace of the Popes is beautiful outside, but inside is a disappointment. Much like an empty great hall of concrete. The best part was getting to the upper ramparts and the view from there. Three days is about all you'll need. Weekends are busiest.

Lovely stay!

We really enjoyed our stay here. It is in a great location, right across from the palace. Even though it is on a busy square, the apartment itself is very quiet, with a lovely shaded courtyard. The apartment is clean and well taken care of, with lots of little thoughtful things to make your stay more pleasant. The bed and pillows were quite comfortable, and the AC was highly effective (it was unseasonably hot during our stay and the apartment was always cool!). Communication with Alain was great. Even though we arrived a day late due to issues with the trains, Alain was there to welcome us. He showed us around the apartment and left us a lovely bottle of wine. The parking he recommended was perfect - the entrance is right across from the apartment. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Avignon!

Wonderful location

We had a wonderful stay at Alain's apartment. The location is fabulous - you walk out the front door and you are right in front of Palais des Papes. There are restaurants, cafes and supermarkets all around the area. It was perfect for us. Alain was very good at keeping in touch with us and we appreciated the warm welcome (and fresh home-made lemonade) when we arrived. The apartment is cosy and is well equipped - we appreciated the washing machine and the air con was vital as it was very very hot. We had a great time in Avignon and would definitely stay at Alain's place again.

The property is stunning in it's history and it's been updated to suit modern family travel. You really can't get more close to the history of Avingnon. The host was as fantastic as the apartment. We had an amazing visit. You should stay here. Very clean. Very safe

Fantastic apartment in amazing location

My college-age kids and I spent four nights in Alain's lovely apartment. He's a fabulous host and we had everything we needed. We loved the historic building, unique architecture of the former guard tower, and central location on the square facing the palace. The A/C was much appreciated! Fantastic all around!

Spectacular apartment and host

My husband and I stayed with Alain from May 10 - 15, 2024. The apartment’s setting is outstanding: across from the Palais de Papes, and central to all things in Provence. Alain is a very gracious host, providing suggestions (and reservations) for wonderful restaurants and bistros. He touched base with us periodically to ensure we were enjoying our stay; he even added a baguette to his morning order when we asked where we could find a good boulangerie. We highly recommend staying here if your travels take you to Avignon!
