For rental accommodation in the Avignon area and for holiday villas in Provence during low season please check with our holiday advisors to make sure the house meets your needs. Late winter, early spring can be very nice in the south of France and in Provence you will be able to visit major sights without the crowds of the summer. It can be cool at that time of year if the wind blows so you might like to take a second week somewhere warmer, perhaps stay in a house in Cote d'Azur? Do contact us by phone or email for any further information you require about the area, what's on or how best to travel. We know the area very well and would be pleased to assist.
