To begin your journey to Avignon, you can conveniently fly to Marseille (MXP) or Montpelier (MPL), both of which are about a ninety minute drive from Avignon. Marseille is one of the major airports serving the South of France, so you may find more availability, but Montpellier is just as easy to fly into. From either location, it's a short and scenic drive to Avignon in a rental car, but you could also choose to book a comfy private transfer or navigate France’s public transport system, with direct trains from either destination leaving on a regular basis.
Avignon is famous for historical sites that will wow you, like the majestic Palais des Papes and the Pont d’Avignon. It also has some of the best food in Provence, including multiple Michelin-starred restaurants and delicious local bistros. For nature (and wine) enthusiasts, the region surrounding Avignon offers a multitude of opportunities to reconnect with the outdoors. Explore lush vineyards of Chateauneuf-du-Pape and sample the exquisite wines that have made Provence famous.
