Lafarge

The property is historic and picturesque. Our attic room was quaint, but its low ceilings probably would be difficult for tall people. (We are short.) There is a rooftop terrace, nice for sunning, with a small pool. The restaurant, including an outdoor patio, is good, and we also enjoyed the breakfast. (A minor complaint: creaky wooden stairs to the attic room and also an occasional very loud noise, which might have been the elevator?) The employee who checked us in was efficient, but the night reception staff was wonderful! Around 11:00 pm, we realized that we had a transportation problem, and they quickly helped us solve it! The hotel location, mere minutes from the Avignon Centre train station and just inside the city walls, is extremely walkable to the Palais des Pâpes and the Pont de Avignon, among other touristic sites. We rented bikes for a short ride through the city and on an island directly across from Pont de Avignon. Avignon is also centrally located for day trips to other towns and sites, such as Pont du Gard.

We had the added bonus of catching a car show during our stay at the hotel, which was a nice perk. The staff were incredibly friendly and professional, making our experience even better. The restaurant's food and wines were outstanding. Our room was spacious and very clean. The only downside was some noise from guests outside the hotel at night, which woke me up and made it hard to fall back asleep. Overall, though, I had a wonderful time.

Fantastic location and staff. Extremely walkable area.
