France - Provence-Alps-Côte d’Azur

Fort Saint André

A Karen Brown Recommendation

Considered a gateway to Provence, Avignon is one of France’s most interesting and beautiful cities. Villeneuve les Avignon is separated from Avignon by the Rhône. Villeneuve flourished when the pope held residence in Avignon and a number of cardinals chose it for their magnificent estates. Today it presents a lovely setting on the river, enjoys magnificent views of its neighbor, and yet benefits from a quieter setting and pace.

A stronghold that once guarded the frontier of France when Avignon was allied to the Holy Roman Empire, it has towering on its skyline Fort Saint André whose vantage point commands a magnificent view across the Rhône to Avignon and the Popes’ Palace. Another military structure still standing is the Philippe le Bel Tower and the curator is often on hand to provide all the historical facts.
