Located in southern France, Avignon is offered referred to as the City of the Popes, as many actually lived here five centuries ago. The hotels in Avignon are filled not only by tourists eager to discover the old buildings of this ecclesiastic town, but also by fun loving travelers. The Avignon Theater Festivals brings the city to life each year, with street performances, dances and music. It's an event worth watching, so make sure to arrange for the proper accommodation and not find yourself looking for a hotel during the festival.

The more conservative tourists will be delighted by the city's architecture, the highlights being Notre Dame de Doms and Palais des Pape. Located just a few meters apart, these two magnificent buildings watch over the city, just like the golden statue of the Virgin standing on top of the cathedral.
