Hôtel Mignon

Hôtel Mignon is a small two-star budget hotel at 12 Rue Joseph Vernet in the old town of Avignon, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of France. Rue Joseph Vernet is one of the main shopping streets of the walled city, running south from the area near the Place de l'Horloge toward the railway station, which means the hotel is both central and well connected. The Avignon Centre station is a walk of about ten minutes, and the Palais des Papes can be reached on foot in roughly fifteen minutes. Nearby are the Musée Calvet, restaurants, boutiques and the covered market Les Halles, so most needs are met without transport. The hotel is a compact, no-frills property aimed at independent travellers, couples and small groups looking for a central location at a modest price. Rooms are offered as Single Rooms, Double Rooms and Triple Rooms, equipped with air conditioning and wifi, which are welcome in the hot summer months. Typical rates are about EUR 55 to EUR 95 per night, rising during the July Festival d'Avignon, when demand for inexpensive rooms is high. The hotel has no restaurant, spa or pool, so meals are taken at the surrounding cafés and bistros serving Provençal dishes. Because Rue Joseph Vernet is lively during the day with shoppers and visitors, guests who are light sleepers may wish to ask for a room away from the street. Reception staff can give advice on walking routes, day trips by train or bus to Arles, Orange and the Pont du Gard, and nearby car parks, since parking inside the ramparts is limited.
