Hôtel Le Limas

Hôtel Le Limas is a three-star hotel at 41 Cours Jean Jaurès in Avignon, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of France. The Cours Jean Jaurès is the main avenue between Avignon Centre railway station and the old town, and the hotel sits about ten minutes on foot from both the station and the Palais des Papes. The Rue de la République, the Place de l'Horloge and the Pont Saint-Bénézet are all easy walks from the door, so most of Avignon's principal sights can be reached without a car or taxi.

The property is a modern-style city hotel in a town building on the avenue, valued for convenience and a straightforward, comfortable stay rather than historic grandeur. The avenue has shops, cafés and bakeries, and the ramparts are a short distance away.

Rooms are offered as Double, Twin and Triple configurations, which suits couples, friends and small families. Wifi, air conditioning and breakfast are listed among the amenities. Published rates run from about EUR 65 to EUR 120 per night, depending on the season and room type, with festival weeks in July at the upper end. Air conditioning is a practical feature during the hot Provençal summer.

No restaurant, spa or pool is listed. Guests normally take breakfast at the hotel and eat dinner in the old town, where the Place de l'Horloge and the streets off the Rue de la République hold many cafés, bistros and Provençal restaurants. Les Halles covered market is a short walk away for fresh produce.

Service is practical, with reception able to provide maps, restaurant suggestions and advice on trains and buses to Arles, Nîmes, Orange, the Pont du Gard and the Luberon. The hotel suits leisure travellers who want a mid-priced base close to the station. Rooms overlooking the avenue may pick up traffic noise, so quieter rooms can be requested.
