A campsite at the gateway to the Cité des Papes (Avignon)
Avignon Parc enjoys one of the most advantageous locations as it is located in the town of Vedène, 12 kilometres from the city centre of Avignon. The Cité des Papes (or Avignon), the prefecture of Vaucluse, is one of the most popular tourist cities in Provence. With its famous bridge stretching part way over the Rhône, the Palais des Papes (Popes’ palace), the historic centre surrounded by ramparts and its Theatre festival (Festival de Théâtre), Avignon is thus a city having a significant historic and cultural heritage.
This Yelloh! Village campsite has a truly exceptional natural setting, welcoming holidaymakers in a 6.5 hectare park, dotted with hundred-year-old pine trees. In the proximity of significant tourist attractions in Avignon, such as the Lac de Monteux lake or even the Mont Ventoux mountain, Avignon Parc offers a wide choice of holiday rentals, and spacious and shaded pitches for tents, caravans, converted vans and campers.

A perfect holiday resort for discovering Avignon and its region
By staying on this Avignon campsite, you will have the chance to go off to explore the wonders of Vaucluse and Provence. This Vaucluse department indeed conceals a multitude of treasures. If you’ve already tackled the old city of Avignon, notably with the Palais des Papes historic papal palace, you can also explore, during your stay in Vedène, the villages of Gordes and L’Isle sur la Sorgue.
In the heart of the Monts de Vaucluse mountains, Gordes is amongst the most beautiful villages in France. It is by taking its calades (cobblestone streets paved with limestone stones at their edges), that you can best admire its charm and beauty. L’Isle sur la Sorgue, also dubbed “Venise Comtadine” (“the Venice of Provence”), is a village which goes at the pace of its river. Not far from these two villages, Fontaine du Vaucluse is a further must-see of the department. The source of the Sorgue, the most significant resurgence in Europe, is located here.
Amongst the other tourist sites to discover, during a stay at the Avignon Parc campsite, we should mention the ancient remains of Vaison la Romaine, the Mont Ventoux mountain, the ancient Roman amphitheatre in Orange or even the medieval town of Villeneuve lès Avignon. Provence, with its lavender fields and perched villages, offers breathtaking landscapes, that you can discover either on foot or by bike, numerous hiking paths and cycle trails covering the region…
