Lavender, rosé and of course Mont Ventoux. These are just 3 reasons to visit Provence. A fourth reason is perhaps the big theater festival in Avignon in July: the Festival d’Avignon and the Festival Off d’Avignon.
This year, the event starts on July 4 and ends on July 23. In the meantime, hundreds of performances can be seen. Not only in the famous Palais des Papes, which is always an impressive setting, but theaters can be found all over the city. The center has been made car-free as much as possible, so that you can walk around freely and enjoy the artists that can be found on the street and sometimes try to persuade you to come to their performance. By the way, French is not spoken in all performances, so even if you are unsure whether you can follow everything, the festival is an absolute must.
Would you like it, but are you just going in a different direction in July? Don’t worry: the festival will be back next July.
