access map
direction by car
Leave the highway A7 to the extit “Avignon nord” then follow the signs “avignon centre” drive along ramparts (the Rhone (river) on your right) enter in the city by the door “Porte de la ligne” (follow the yellow sign La Mirande) and turn immediately on your right “rue des remparts de la ligne” until “rue de la Banasterie”, we are to N°11. Avignon is a medieval city the streets are very narrow it’s difficult to drive and to park into if you have not too much luggage my advice is: when you are along the wall continue until the next door “la porte du rocher” ( just after “la porte de la ligne” and before the St Benezet bridge) and park your car in the Popes palace parking (parkings palais des papes) then you’ll go out in front of the popes palace. you look it and go to the right corner of the Palace. There is the small street “rue de la peyrolerie” go down it until the “rue de la Banasterie” (on your left) 2 or 3 minutes from the parking.
