Our tips for Avignon

  • Book Boat Excursions Early: Morning catamaran and boat charters typically experience calmer waters and lighter winds than late afternoon departures.
  • Water Shoes & Cenote Gear: Bring non-slip water shoes and waterproof phone pouches for exploring rocky coastal coves, coral reefs, or natural sinkholes.
  • Local Gratuity Customs: A gratuity (propina) of 10-15% is standard practice for restaurant servers, tour guides, and boat crew across resort regions.
  • Reserve Eco-Tours in Advance: Popular marine reserves, eco-adventure parks, and island day trips frequently cap daily visitor numbers to protect local ecosystems.

Good to know

Enclosed by ancient medieval ramparts alongside the Rhone River, Avignon serves as the quintessential gateway to Provence. Late spring and early summer (May to July) provide the most magical window, when blooming purple lavender fields blanket the surrounding Luberon valleys and warm Mediterranean breezes sweep through historic stone squares. July also hosts the renowned Festival d'Avignon, transforming the courtyard of the Palais des Papes into an international stage for theater. Autumn (September to October) delivers golden vineyard hues and wine harvest celebrations in nearby Chateauneuf-du-Pape, while winter offers quiet cobblestone streets and authentic Provencal market life.
