Before the papacy was moved to Rome in the 14th century, Avignon was the great
city of the popes. The charming medieval village of Villeneuve-les-Avignon, just
across the Rhône, was the residence of cardinals. The village is known for its
local open-air market on Thursday and its antique market on Saturday. This location is ideal
for exploring the beautiful towns and villages of Provence. Avignon is just 10
minutes away. Aix-en-Provence, home of Cézanne, is within easy daytrip distance,
as well as Arles, Lacoste, Ménerbes, Gordes, Rousillon, and the Luberon.
The nearest TGV rail station is in Avignon about fifteen minutes away. In three hours, you can
be in Paris.
Located in the heart of the adorable village of Villeneuve-les-Avignon, La Livrée
is accessible on foot to local
markets, shops, and many good restaurants. Once the summer residence of cardinals,
the property has been beautifully restored. The owner is fond of art and has decorated
the house with pieces from her own art collection. A private garden is outfitted
with patio furniture and a gas BBQ. On street parking.
