Avignon is one of Provence's most iconic cities, known worldwide for its Palace of the Popes, the world's largest Gothic palace and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From 1309 to 1377, Avignon was the papal residence, eclipsing Rome as the centre of Christendom. The famous Pont Saint-Bénézet (the 'pont d'Avignon' of the song), with only 4 of its original 22 arches remaining, partially spans the Rhône. The 4.3 km ramparts, entirely preserved, encircle a vibrant old town with plane-tree-shaded squares, mansions and restaurants. The Festival d'Avignon, created by Jean Vilar in 1947, is the world's largest theatre festival (July) with the 'In' (Palace of the Popes courtyard) and 'Off' (1,500 shows across the city). Avignon's TGV station offers fast connections to Paris (2h40). Taxis from Montpellier are used by festivalgoers, tourists and TGV travellers.
Route
Route Montpellier → Avignon
Your driver takes the A9 from Montpellier towards Nîmes, then turns onto the A54 towards Avignon after Nîmes. The landscape shifts from Languedoc garrigue to more arid Provençal scrubland with lavender fields and olive groves. You cross the Rhône via the Avignon ring road bridge to reach the ramparts. Tolls total about €10 (included in the fare). Your driver drops you at the foot of the ramparts, Place de l'Horloge, in front of the Palace of the Popes or at Avignon TGV station. Allow 1h05 normally, 1h25 in July during the festival.
