Take a break during the festival

Between shows and to escape the hustle and bustle of the Festival, there’s nothing like getting away from it all for a few hours. Fancy a nap or a bubble? The lawns of the city’s gardens and parks are just waiting for you. Do you prefer cycling or hiking? There are several itineraries to choose from that won’t take you too far from the city center.

Swimming spots

Whether you love butterfly breaststroke, backstroke or just want to relax and gaze at the azure sky, Avignon has just what you’re looking for!
