Office de Tourisme d'Avignon
Tourist information center
😠 Absolutely useless and misguiding. Waste of time. They can google some info for you. They open the office after the morning tours have left, so you can only book some sightseeing tour for the following days. You can buy tacky souvenirs, if that is your thing.

👍👍 Park here for an easy bus to Avignon. Bus is free and parking is free. The main entrance had a 2m height barrier but there was a side entrance that allowed me to get my camper in

La Palmeraie - Piscine Olympique - Boulangerie - Paillote
Outdoor swimming pool
👍 Spending our holidays for years around Avignon, we knew this address without ever having had the opportunity to take advantage of the place and the infrastructures offered.
It was the name change with La Vie est Belle and the arrival of the friendly bakery that led us to take the plunge.
