Place du Palais feels like a natural pause in the middle of Avignon's historic heart. I'd linger here for a while before continuing through the surrounding old-city streets.

H tel Le Bristol's Classic Room with two twin beds is a practical, comfortable choice for friends travelling together or anyone who prefers separate sleeping spaces. Its city-centre setting makes it an easy base for exploring Avignon on foot.

Palais des Papes has the kind of grand, time-travel feeling that makes Avignon instantly memorable. I'd put this right at the heart of a wandering day around the city's historic centre.

Le Petit Avignon is the one I'd save for a romantic stay, especially the Double Room with Terrace and its queen bed. Being close to both the Pont d'Avignon and Palais des Papes makes stepping out to explore wonderfully easy.

Pinie, set at Rocher des Doms, has a tucked-away, atmospheric name that suits a slower wander above the city. I'd add it to a day when you want your sightseeing to feel a little more unhurried.

Ch teau Saint Perret sounds made for a restful countryside-style escape, with a king bed and a garden view to wake up to. Breakfast is included too, which is exactly the kind of small comfort I like before a relaxed day out.

Jardin des Doms is the spot I'd choose when I need a green breather between historic sights. Its setting at Rocher des Doms gives a visit to Avignon a softer, more peaceful rhythm.

The Bridge of Avignon is one of those places that makes the city's story feel wonderfully tangible. I'd make time for it on a Rh ne-side wander, when the setting gives the visit a particularly memorable atmosphere.
