Apartment for sale in France

Avignon Located at the confluence of the Rhône and Durance rivers, Avignon is well known for its ramparts, its famous Pont d?Avignon and the Palace of the Popes. Because of its imposing, majestic architecture this palace is classified, like the pyramids, as a World Heritage of Humanity site. The Provencal way of life will come to light in Avignon, strolling in the old streets in search of antic dealers and art galleries discover its local cuisine in the tea-rooms and the restaurants. The beauty of the medieval past in Avignon never ceases to delight. The ramparts, the Palace of the Popes, the sea of red-tiled roofs, clock-towers and steeples, and of course the graceful Pont d?Avignon create a magical setting. Convents, churches, chapels, palaces, noble mansions and homes form a complex but cohesive fabric of architecture from many eras. The warm stone with which they are built is the unifying factor. Though its architectural treasures are a source of pride, Avignon does not bask in its past glory. Culture remains dynamic and forward-looking, with the international theatre festival each summer, the rich and varied museums, and many other offerings. Such a magnificent setting attracts remarkable citizens, artists and creators, whose work continues to keep Avignon on centre stage. Due to the influence of the international theatre festival and the many permanent companies, theatre reigns supreme, yet dance, cinema, and the visual arts also thrive. Montfavet Situated only 5km outside of Avignon is the charming village of Montfavet. An exceptionally tranquil and verdant area, the village was central to local religious life in the 12th century and was home to orders of both nuns and monks.
