View of the Popes' Palace – Elegant air-conditioned apartment in the heart of Avignon
Treat yourself to an unforgettable experience by staying in the heart of Avignon, in a superb 55 m² apartment nestled on the fifth floor of a 19th-century mansion, directly opposite the majestic Popes' Palace. Located in the historic center, in the pedestrian zone, this exceptional location immerses you in the vibrant soul of the city, with breathtaking views of the rooftops of the old town, the Palace, and, in the distance, Mont Ventoux. A unique panorama that will accompany every moment of your stay.
The apartment, bathed in light, consists of a large, elegant bedroom with a 160 cm bed and a cozy living room equipped with a 140 cm sofa bed, perfect for up to four people. Fully air-conditioned, it offers all the necessary comfort for a pleasant stay, summer and winter. The functional kitchen is fully equipped for your on-site dining, and free Wi-Fi allows you to stay connected at all times. Although there's no elevator, the wide steps provide easy access to the fifth floor, and once there, the view and charm of the place are well worth the effort.
The apartment doesn't have any outdoor space, but its prime location in the heart of the city opens the doors of Avignon to you on foot. Just a few meters away, stroll through the Place du Palais, linger in the lively alleyways, discover hidden squares, sunny cafés, and numerous art galleries. You'll be surrounded by restaurants, shops, bakeries, and local markets, which I'd be happy to recommend to help you experience Avignon like a local.
Avignon, the city of the Popes and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is full of treasures: its famous Saint-Bénézet Bridge, its ramparts, its museums, and, of course, its world-renowned theater festival. From the apartment, you're ideally located for exploring the wonders of Provence. The lavender fields of the Sault plateau in summer, the Roman ruins of Pont du Gard, Orange, and Vaison-la-Romaine, and the hilltop villages of the Luberon, such as Gordes, Roussillon, and Bonnieux, are easily accessible. You can also explore the Alpilles region with Saint-Rémy-de-Provence and Les Baux-de-Provence, or even head as far as Arles and the wild Camargue. Comprehensive information on the region is available in the apartment to assist you on your excursions.
"Facing the Palace of the Popes" is much more than just accommodation: it's an immersion in the history, culture, and beauty of one of the most beautiful cities in the south of France. A unique place for a stay steeped in authenticity, charm, and refinement. Book your Provençal getaway now; you'll create unforgettable memories.

My friend and I recently enjoyed a wonderful vacation in France, staying at several different rental properties—and Phillipe’s place in Avignon was by far our favorite.From the moment we arrived, Phillipe welcomed us warmly and made us feel right at home. The apartment was even more beautiful than the photos, and it was immediately clear that we had arrived somewhere special. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, and the space had everything we could have needed. We felt so comfortable and well cared for throughout our stay.Phillipe also provided fantastic local recommendations that helped us make the most of our time in Avignon.The apartment is located on the 5th floor, which may be something to consider for those with mobility concerns, but for us, it was absolutely worth the climb. The views, charm, and overall atmosphere made it a standout.We highly recommend staying at Phillipe’s—you won’t be disappointed!
