Where to stay in Montfavet
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Montfavet sits on the eastern edge of Avignon, away from the walled centre where most visitors first look for a room, and everyday life here gathers around the church of Notre-Dame de Bon Repos and the piscine Jean-Clément. Lodging on this edge of Avignon is thin. It suits you if a quieter base with easy road access matters more than stepping straight onto the ramparts.
Most travellers stay central instead.
