Campervan rental in Avignon

During the July festival the intramuros streets are a pedestrian city. In any month they are a poor place for a campervan. The sensible pattern is to leave the vehicle outside the ramparts, walk in for the palace and the square, and sleep in the Rhône countryside or toward the Luberon.

From that base the Provençal drives are short and distinct: Pont du Gard to the west, Châteauneuf-du-Pape among the galets, the hill villages east of the river. This is not Normandy’s hedgerow country. The stone is pale, the summer air is hot, and the mistral runs down the Rhône corridor hard enough to matter for a tall vehicle on an open pitch.
