Festival In d'Avignon - Photo credit: Christophe Raynaud / Festival d'AvignonFrom its flamboyant past as the capital of Christendom, Avignon has preserved an exceptional heritage, much of which is listed by UNESCO.
Five museums (Calvet, Lapidaire, Petit Palais, Requien, Palais du Roure) complement each other, displaying thousands of works of art – objects, documents, paintings and sculptures – in some of Avignon’s finest buildings. And what’s more, it’s free for everyone!
In the heart of the Palais des Papes, discover the magnificent papal gardens: an invitation to stroll and meditate, in an explosion of scents and colours! A plant wonderland…

Credit: Olivier TressonAvignon is undoubtedly THE city of theatre: in July, its heart beats to the rhythm of the world’s largest performing arts festival, led by the Festival d’Avignon and the Festival Off, which are not to be missed… But Avignon is also a land of Culture(s), with 5 permanent stages, a brand new Opera House, cinemas, and a host of events to fill you up with emotion throughout the season!
I’m passionate about culture and in love with my city, so I’m making the most of the Festival, but I also like to be able to take a few welcome breaks from my hectic schedule: shopping at the market, exhibitions, afterwork… Ready to discover my little secrets?
Behind the Palais des Papes, the Utopia cinema is a regular haunt. Housed in a former warehousing warehouse, this community cinema offers VOD screenings, meetings with directors and talks on social issues, illustrated by cult feature films.
A good idea 👍 At Utop’ as we say here, you can also eat a sandwich/salad at the bar or a home-cooked meal in the Manutention restaurant. In short, a lively and friendly cultural hub.
