Useful information
Park at the Palais des Papes car park
Avignon is a medieval city: streets are narrow and traffic can be difficult. For your arrival, we recommend going directly to the Palais des Papes car park: there is no need to drive inside the city walls.
The entrance to the car park is outside the ramparts, Boulevard de la Ligne, between Porte de la Ligne and Pont Saint-Benezet. From the pedestrian exit, reach the forecourt of the Palais des Papes, then walk down Rue Peyrolerie. Rue de la Banasterie is on your left, about 3 minutes away.
Arriving by train
Avignon TGV station is in the Courtine district, outside the city centre. A dedicated shuttle connects the TGV station with the city centre for TGV arrivals and departures.
From Avignon Centre station, you can reach the historic centre on foot, by taxi or by public transport, then continue towards the Palais des Papes and Rue Peyrolerie.
