As equally beautiful as it is cultural, Avignon is a thriving hub of history, architecture and arts. Described by many as the 'perfect break', the city offers visitors an opportunity to enjoy a mix of activities in an unforgettable medieval setting. The ancient town centre is built inside the city's historic rampart walls. Avignon is one of the only French cities to have preserved these magnificent walls, and is the reason why the city landscape looks so unique. The city spans across the Rhône river bank, and is the largest city capital of the département of Vaucluse. Hiring a car in Avignon means you can travel the full distance of this incredible city, admiring its picturesque views and cultural heritage.
Avignon is the perfect destination for a romantic weekend break. The city is not heavily populated, so it's ideal if you're looking to relax in one of its many tranquil parks and gardens. One of the most beautiful gardens in the city is Rocher des Doms. Here you can witness the breath-taking views of the Rhône valley while snuggling up on a bench in one of the many secreted areas of the park. Rent a car in Avignon and venture further out of the city. Visit one of the many restaurants and cafés in Place de l'Horloge; you can do some people watching, sit outside one of the many brasserie terraces, and listen to the chimes of the clock tower in the square.
