Where to stay in Montfavet
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
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. Beds are scarce. It suits you if a quieter base with easy road access matters more than stepping straight onto the ramparts.
Most travellers stay central instead.
