Avignon is ideally positioned for 'everywhere French' as it is central to France, just one hour from the mediterranean and the ferry port of Marseille.
Under 180 minutes are the resorts of the Côte d'Azur from Toulon, Fejus and St. Tropez, along the coast to Cannes and Nice, and through the border to Menton and Monte Carlo.
Travel westwards with suberb road connections to Norbonne, Toulouse and Perpignan and in less than 3 hours you can be crossing the Spanish border.
Inland you are in the heart of Provence and Vaucluse... but linger awhile when passing through this 12th Century Church upto 1377, and a Papal territory until the French Revolution in 1789.
Stand on the bridge and remember childhood chanting of 'Sur le Pont d'Avignon'...!
Now a great cultural centre and a justifiable destination in its own right.
