Very beautiful city. Lots of tourists & I felt safe. Gorgeous weather. I ran around the city walls in the morning, about a 5km route. Great way to see the city. Food is very expensive but nice. The Popes Palace is deffo worth a visit, but don’t bother with the gardens. So much original artwork still in tact. Really amazing.
Posted: June 22, 2024Overall I felt very safe in Avignon. The reason I gave 4.5/5 instead of 5/5 is only because I was approached once or twice by tourist scammers on the street, but it was nothing aggressive and a simple “Non, merci.” Did the trick both times. Avignon is one of my fondest trips to date! I would recommend Avignon and the Provence / Vaucluse region of France to anyone!
Posted: January 17, 2024Charming food and culture. The weather in June is wonderful. When you stay close to the center, you can walk everywhere. I went to Ile de la Barthelasse by a free cruise. It's a beautiful place.

Avignon is a small and typical city from southern east of France. You can walk near the Rhône, visit le palais des Papes but also go to watch some play as the city hosts the biggest theater festival during summer !

Avignon is a medium city size. I live in the historic center with my kids. They go alone at school so I am confident in their safety during the day. I feel safe also. At the night, it is ok but always be vigilant like in other cities. Do not go too far alone in the neighborhood.
