L’Observance - Bed & Breakfast in Vaucluse
2-2bis rue de l'Observance, 84000 Avignon, Vaucluse
Provence - Alps - Riviera,
Francia
You couldn't be better placed for ambling around historic Avignon than at this B&B within the city's old walls. The latest incarnation of a building that has in its lifetime been part of a monastery, a barracks and a factory, there are now five light, spacious en-suite rooms in the main house and an annexe converted into a cosy apartment for four. Dutch hosts welcome you with a glass of wine.
Start the day in the newly-glazed breakfast room with freshly-baked pastries, hams, lots of different cheeses, eggs and always homemade jam and marmalade. Though the Palais des Papes and Pont d'Avignon are only a short stroll, it's blissfully calm. Cool off in the sparkling pool (it's heated out of season too) after a long day or meandering around town or find a quiet spot in the garden simply to read a book or doze.
If you take the apartment you'll have a nifty kitchen of your own, so head to the market then come back and cook.
