Beginning on July 7th and running through July 29th, you can experience Avignon’s main festival. Celebrating the arts, this festival is well-worth a visit.
The Avignon Festival was started in 1947 by Jean Vilar. Since its start until current day, the festival has gained much prestige and awareness. Spectators wait all year for this event to occur!
You will see quite a variety of performances including singers, dancers, musicians, actors/actresses and many different art developers. With so much spirit and life going on around you, you will not regret going to this festival! And, it takes place right at the Pope’s Palace, one of the most sought out structures in Avignon.
No need to worry about language barriers either, some of the acts are performed in English, however, once you embrace everything around you, you’ll come to realize, art has it’s own, universal language.
And the truly great part, you can take a TGV train from Paris, travel direct to Avignon, and arrive in under 3 hours! The perfect day, traveling in style aboard the TGV, embracing nature right outside your train window along the way, then embracing the arts and being blown away by the amount of talent being performed all around you. Enjoy!
