Avignon
Avignon is a beautiful medieval walled city in the heart of Provence. The centre is dominated by the huge, Gothic Palais des Papes, the seat of Catholic popes during the 14th century. Wander the lovely streets of the old centre which are full of artists’ galleries, visit the colourful outdoor market on the Place Pie or come during July when the city hums with thousands of visitors to its annual, massive theatre festival.
Nice
Nice is the capital of the French Riviera and the epitome of Côte d’Azur chic. Wander along the famous beachfront Promenade des Anglais or explore the tiny winding streets of the Old Town and the highly scented flower market. Nice also provided inspiration for some notable artists and you can see some of these represented in the collection at the Musée des Beaux-Arts Jules Chéret, which occupies a former private mansion, built in 1878 for a Ukranian princess.
