How to Spend 3 Days in Avignon
Go beyond Avignon's medieval attractions and the nearby countryside sights to the vineyards of Rhône Valley and the landscapes that inspired Van Gogh.
Roussillon is in the Vaucluse départment of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur Region, about an hour east of Avignon. Its hilltop location means there are no trains that arrive there; cars are best. There is parking outside the village, which is pedestrian-friendly. The Giants' Causeway trail costs 2 euro per person to enter.
