Camping The Pont d’Avignon, book your stay!
The Pont d’Avignon, the ideal holiday destination!
A stay in the magnificent City of Popes wouldn’t be complete without a visit to its famous bridge. It is an engineering masterpiece, having been built over several centuries, although today only four of the original 22 arches remain. But no matter! All its charm and beauty remain intact and every year, the site draws no fewer than 30,000 visitors.
Near the bridge, your Sandaya campsite is the ideal base from which to enjoy a happy holiday in Avignon. You’ll benefit from wonderfully comfortable accommodation, a water park, free children’s clubs and entertainment for campers of every age, all on the banks of the Rhône. Sounds great? Say thank you, Sandaya!
Visit the Pont d’Avignon with your family
“Le Pont retrouvé” is a museographic space where films, exhibitions and touchscreen tablets will reveal the bridge as you’ve never seen it before! Thanks to the work of a community of researchers, you can admire a 3D representation of the bridge at the time that it was built. A fun and instructive experience that will appeal to the whole clan!
Another idea for a cultural outing for the family is a tour of the Musée du Petit Palais, where admission is free for all. Children can learn about art through medieval and early Renaissance painting and sculpture.
Visit the Pont d’Avignon as a couple
Hand in hand, set off to explore Avignon with your significant other, starting with a visit to the Palace of the Popes. This must-see landmark, situated near the bridge, will take you on a journey through the history of Western Christianity. Then there is the mandatory stroll along the Pont d’Avignon, of course! Whether you dance or not, the view of the city is always stunning.
Would you like to discover Avignon differently? Then why not visit the city during a trip along the Rhône? Opt for a canoe, a stand-up paddleboard or the deck of a boat and sail along peacefully as you admire the breathtaking beauty of the City of the Popes.
