Planning a Trip to Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur

Beautiful town, famous for its medieval popes and, more recently, as a subject in the French children's song "Sur le Pont d'Avignon" (I only mention it because I couldn't get it out of my head the whole time I was there. So annoying!)
Definitely best time to visit is the summer - while the internationally famous Avignon Festival is on. Great theatre and dance performances - both as part of the official festival and throughout the town streets.

go to the central market - open every day- but best during week-ends; all kind of local fresh veggie, fruits, flowers ! my wife especially loves those big bunches of garlic : so cheap, so good and decorative in the same time !

Auberge du Teillon (Hôtel and Resturant)

If you ever find your self traveling on Route Napoléon you have to wisit this place! They have the best food that you wil remember for a long time! you choose a menu of 3, 5 or 7 dishes.
Everything is organic and home grown.

when the gite d'etappe in bouzieyas is closed (out of season) they leave the door to the dormatories open. there's is a toilet as well.

The best Ice-Cream ever is at Pinochio at the plaza next to the main post office and the playgrounds. Especially the Pistachio...

Parking is quite restricted and pou are unlikely to get away without having to pay. If you have kids with you, walk past the tourist shops and follow the river. There are some great areas to scramble over the rocks.

Avignon, city of the Popes, is also famous for its bridge. Thus, you need to visit the bridge, the Popes Palace and the walls. If you can, try to make it during the Theatre festival, when the city is alive with activity!

Lovely beaches (no braws, like all over Europe) , everyone is crossing streets on red lights, you can do it too, but be aware of the traffic nevertheless. A short train ride to Monaco and Kann, you should visit those places too if you are near the region ...

There is beautiful views from the fortress

Hyeres has a great karting track and the bars on the marina a really nice in the evenings. it can get a bit crowded on summer weekends. The Presqu'ile de Giens, and lsland of Porquerolles are definitely worth a day for their (almost) quiet white sand beaches.
