Wedding in
Avignon
Pick a venue first. Photographers, planners, florists slot around it. We do the shortlisting for you.
Avignon is a medieval walled city on the Rhône River, home to the Papal Palace (where the Popes hung out for 70 years when they got tired of Rome), and surrounded by the landscape of Provence at its most lavender and golden.
Weddings cluster around June and September when the weather is warm and the lavender is either at peak bloom or fading beautifully. July and August are hot and crowded. The old town is compact and entirely walkable. The Palace courtyard can host receptions. The restaurants are excellent. The surrounding vineyards offer country alternatives. The light is Provençal and perfect. The local Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine is legitimately outstanding.
