The holiday season has arrived in Avignon! Our guide presents all the festive events and activities that bring life to the City of Popes during this winter period.
From Place de l'Horloge to the Papal Palace, the city adorns itself in its finest winter attire. Traditional Christmas markets settle in the medieval streets, while illuminations transform the historic squares. Local artisans display their Provençal creations, and the aromas of mulled wine and roasted chestnuts perfume the city center atmosphere. In neighboring communes, from Villeneuve-lès-Avignon to L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, Provençal celebrations enrich the festive experience.
Happy Holidays!
