Best Western Plus Le Lavarin
I really like staying at this Best western. It was only a short drive to Avignon France and had a lot of good restaurants within a short distance. A car or Uber was definitely required. The hotel was top class. The rooms were large and well appointed and not to be brand new. The staff was wonderful. ...

AppartHotel Festival Sud Aqua - Gare TGV
Staff allowed an early check in as I arrived from the train in the morning. They also helpfully called a cab for me back to the train station in the morning. The only downside is the lack of restaurants nearby, if you are on foot.
