Posted in FAQ

Are barbecues allowed?

The campsite has communal barbecue areas for campers to use, in two separate locations. We advise against the use of electric barbecues as these are often too powerful. Charcoal barbecues are permitted as long as basic safety measures are followed.

Posted in FAQ

Is the campsite subject to flooding?

The campsite has been in a flood zone since the tragic events in Vaison-la-Romaine on 22 September 1992, which fortunately we were spared from. Following these floods, safety standards for campsites in at-risk areas were tightened, and we were authorised to continue operating as a campsite. Since then, we have been inspected every three years by the prefectural safety commission, which authorises us to have campers. If pitches are sometimes flooded, this is because they are usually subject to a period of drought lasting several months, followed by summer storms (usually after 15 August). The ground is too dry and unable to absorb the large quantity of rain that falls in a short space of time (in general, a summer storm lasts less than two hours).

Avignon and its theatre festival!

The Avignon theatre festival is world-renowned, attracting visitors from across the globe to the courtyard of the Papal Palace and other locations around the city (theatres etc.). You can attend official performances by booking in advance, as well as the many other shows that sweep the city as part of the “Off” festival.

The Avignon Festival in July: The Festival’s mission is to showcase works of contemporary French and international theatre and dance, and the performing arts in general, by putting on around 40 performances each year.

Avignon’s cultural life doesn’t end with the theatre festival, you can also attend the following events:

  • The Avignon Jazz Festival at the start of August
  • The Avignon/New York Film Festival
  • The Avignon Film Festival (for independent films) in June

Don’t miss this in Orange!

The Roman Theatre of Orange, built under the reign of Augustus in the first century AD by veterans of Julius Caesar’s second legion, is one of the best-preserved Roman theatres in the world. Its impressive exterior wall with the original façade (103 m long and 37 m high) still stands today.
The theatre has hosted the Roman Festival every summer since 1869, together with the Chorégies d’Orange and New Chorégies opera festivals since 1902 and 1971 respectively.
Every winter since 1891, a festival has been held for lovers of ancient artwork.
Since 2002, the town of Orange, the owner of the monument, has entrusted the company Culturespaces with the management and promotion of the theatre.
