We'd originally intended to stay in Nimes, further south, but an influx of tourists for a bullfight fiesta put paid to that plan. So we drove a few km north to Avignon, where we got a room in this charming old hotel, just outside the old town, near the train station (Lonely Planet warns that noise from the station could be a problem, but we didn't hear a thing). We had a room at the top of the annexe, also an old building (although the stairs could be tricky for those less mobile).
The well-travelled and amiable Fred runs things here, and he keeps a huge array of local maps and information to help his guests make the most of their stay.
The hotel charges for parking, but we easily found free parking behind the station.
Bathroom: private shower but shared toilet
View: rooftop
Cost: 40 euros per night
Recommended? Definitely
