Outings can take place during the day, in the evening, during the week or at the weekend. Activities take place in a variety of cultural venues in and around Avignon, including museums, theatres, public spaces, heritage sites and galleries. The programme is open to anyone interested in discovering art and culture, meeting artists and sharing experiences with other participants. The initiative began in January 2025 and will continue with a new edition in January 2026.
