Avignon Car Hire
Avignon is a beautiful French city lying on the banks of the Rhône in the heart of the southern region of Vaucluse. The city is famous for its rich religious heritage, having been the Papal seat for six consecutive terms from 1309 until 1378 when the papacy returned to Rome. Avignon has also faced a myriad of natural adversaries including violent, savage winds, fire and floods – the evidence of which can be seen throughout the city in the streets, the architecture and the landscape of the area. Plague, plunder and pillaging have all played their part in creating the historical landscape of Avignon, but despite the misfortune that the city has suffered it is nonetheless a superbly well-preserved place – one of the best in France.
