L'Atelier

L'Atelier is a three-star hotel at 5 Rue de la Foire in the village centre of Villeneuve-lès-Avignon, in the Gard department across the Rhône from Avignon, in the Occitanie region of France. Although Villeneuve-lès-Avignon is a separate town, it lies directly opposite Avignon and is closely tied to it, with views of the Palais des Papes across the river. The village is known for the Fort Saint-André, the Chartreuse du Val de Bénédiction and the Tour Philippe le Bel, which stands at the end of the old Pont Saint-Bénézet crossing. Avignon's old town can be reached in around twenty to thirty minutes on foot over the Rhône bridges, or more quickly by bus or taxi. The hotel is a village-centre property with a garden courtyard and views toward Avignon, giving it a calmer, more residential atmosphere than hotels inside the Avignon ramparts. Rooms are offered as Double Rooms and Twin Rooms, with air conditioning and wifi, and breakfast is available. Typical rates are about EUR 95 to EUR 170 per night, with higher prices during the July Festival d'Avignon. The garden is a pleasant place to relax after sightseeing in hot weather. The hotel has no spa or pool listed, and dining is usually taken at village restaurants or in Avignon, where the choice of Provençal bistros is wider. Service reflects a small hotel, with reception staff able to give advice on monuments, markets, buses to Avignon and excursions to the Pont du Gard, Uzès and the Luberon. The location suits travellers who want easier parking and a quieter setting while remaining close to Avignon's sights.
