Guesthouse near Avignon
Les Safrans is a guesthouse in Tavel, in the Gard, just 15 minutes from Avignon: the ideal base to visit the city of the popes without its bustle or its prices.
Looking for a guesthouse near Avignon, quiet and fairly priced? In Tavel, a little away from the centre, on the Gard bank of the Rhône, our house offers two guest rooms 15 minutes (15 km) from the centre of Avignon. You reach the Palais des Papes, the Pont Saint-Bénézet and the Festival in about twenty minutes by car, then come home in the evening to the silence of the vines.
Why stay in Tavel rather than in Avignon?
In the city centre, prices climb steeply in summer — especially in July during the Avignon Festival — and quiet is hard to find. In Tavel, you get a real Provençal village, free private parking, a garden and a homemade breakfast, for a gentler budget. Ideal for festival-goers and for a wine-tourism weekend alike.
