财产 — Aux Augustins
Aux Augustins is a calm, old-school 3-star tucked inside a 17th-century convent, steps from the Palais des Papes. Its lobby smells of beeswax and dried lavender, with a vaulted stone ceiling and a tiny inner garden where guests eat breakfast. The USP is location: you’re a two-minute walk from the main square, yet the thick walls cut street noise. It suits travellers who want history without frills – no pool, no gym, just clean rooms and a courtyard for evening wine.
Avignon编年史
Avignon was a small Gallo-Roman settlement until 1309, when Pope Clement V moved the papacy here to escape Roman chaos. The immense Palais des Papes, built over 20 years, made the city a rival to Rome for most of the 14th century. The famous bridge – St Bénézet – was rebuilt repeatedly after floods, and its surviving four arches now symbolise the city. Avignon remained part of the Papal States until the French Revolution, and today it’s a UNESCO World Heritage site. Its modern identity blends medieval grandeur with a lively arts scene, dominated by the annual theatre festival.
参观的最佳时间
Avignon完整指南 →最佳月
May and September: warm (20–25°C), fewer queues at the Palais, and the lavender fields near the city are in bloom (June/July) or harvested (September). April also works for blossom and lower prices.
峰会 / 节日 Surge
July is peak because of the Festival d’Avignon (theatre, street performances, crowds). Hotel prices double or triple; Aux Augustins is often fully booked weeks ahead. The first week of August remains busy but less manic.
预算肩部季节
Late September and early October: still 20–25°C, no festival chaos, rooms at 30–40% below July rates. Late May is also shoulder – good weather but before the full summer surge.
天气 & 包装
Avignon’s mistral wind can gust 50–80 kph even in summer, making 32°C feel cooler but whipping dust into your eyes. Always pack a light windproof jacket and a scarf for neck protection, plus sturdy sandals for the cobbles.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Aux Augustins, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the first floor at the rear of the building. The first floor avoids street-level noise and the rear orientation faces the quiet inner courtyard, away from the busy road at 16a. These rooms are accessed by the lift and are quieter than upper floors near the roof.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms facing the street (16a). These are closest to pedestrian and traffic noise from the avenue, and lack the buffer of upper floors. Also avoid rooms directly above the main entrance or lift shaft, as foot traffic and mechanical noise can be audible.
Best views
The best view is from a first-floor rear room overlooking the courtyard – typically a shaded, peaceful scene of old stone walls and planted terraces. Street-facing rooms offer a view of the avenue, which is functional but not scenic.
Quietest floors
First floor (European first) is the quietest. It's elevated above street bustle but below any roof-level noise from HVAC or terrace access. The rear courtyard rooms on this floor are best.
🔊 Noise notes
Avignon's central streets are busy with scooters, delivery vans, and evening walkers. At 16a, the hotel is on a relatively main thoroughfare – expect traffic hum until late. The old building may have thin windows; courtyard rooms are much quieter.
Insider tips
1) Call ahead to request a courtyard-facing first-floor room – staff often honour these if available. 2) If driving, ask about local parking garages (e.g., Parking Jean Jaurès) – the hotel doesn't have its own, but some offer discounted rates for guests.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Avignon热门景点
💡 Bring a picnic and sit on the low stone wall at the northern edge around 6pm for the golden hour light hitting the palace. The park has public toilets and a small café with affordable drinks.
💡 Go between 9am and 11am for the best selection. Bring cash—some stalls don't take cards. Stand at La Petite Cuisine for a €5 glass of rosé to enjoy while browsing. Saturday mornings have the largest selection.
💡 Go on the first Sunday of the month when all exhibitions are free, or check the website for occasional free guided tours in English. Don't miss the courtyard garden—quiet, cool, and rarely crowded.
💡 Enter the gardens via the ramp behind the palace, not the main tourist steps. Go at sunset for fewer crowds and the best light.
💡 Skip the paid walkway and instead go to the Île de la Barthélasse for the best free photo angle: the bridge framed by foliage and water. Check low tide times for riverbed access.
