fort saint-andre印象
-
First of all, Villeneuve is a relatively undiscovered jewel in this area. The town square is lovely and you can feel a certain French quality of life in the place. A must if you want to escape the crowds over the river.My four year old son and I really enjoyed exploring the fort - a steep climb up but manageable for my boy. What is lacking are enough information posters around to give the visitor enough context about the significance of the building. The views are, as you might expect, superb.

Wonderful medieval fort in Villenueve-les-Avignon overlooking the entire area. We walked along the inner wall through well maintained gardens, visited a small chapel & up the turrets to the upper walkway. Many rooms to explore. The Number 5 Bus takes you to the start of the walk through a beautiful neighborhood to the base of the fort. Well worth the small entrance fee. Great views.

We ventured to the fort via the Chartreuse. It was a bit steep, but the view from the fort overlooking the palais des papes is spectacular. The Italian gardens & olive groves are very pleasant.

With the masses of history to be had in Avignon itself, it's easy to see how and why nowhere near as many visitors get across to Villeneuve-les-Avignon.However, it is an absolute must! This fort is extremely well preserved and also has some lovely gardens and an abbey to walk around and explore. There are magnificent views across to Tour Philippe le Bel, the city of Avignon and also down over the town of Villeneuve-les-Avignon itself. It's a lovely place to soak up the sun in a quieter environment than Avignon itself.After visiting the fort, walk back down through the historic part of the town, visit Colline des Morgues and enjoy the gardens and views, and then have a drink in the old square. It has a very much more relaxed feel that Avignon, as it is only a small town, but has a definite charm that should not be missed.

Very cool fort, with the towers and ramparts in great condition. the gardens in the abbey are nice too.

Well worth a visit this is a superbly maintained fortress with brilliant views. But not all your visitors are from France! His site nes to follow the example of the Chatreuse and have more in-depth information in multiple languages. And closing for lunch - really? So last century!

Hard to believe people actually fought and died over who was the real Pope but this is the heart of the home of the 100 years of the "French Pope".

We have just enjoyed a truly memorable afternoon visiting Fort Saint Andre and the village itself. We are staying in Avignon and, Having admired the view of Villanueve les Avignon from across the Rhone, we investigated taking a bus over to the village, however, perhaps because it's Sunday, we couldn't seem to quite catch on to when to expect a bus to come along, so decided to take the easy option and called for a taxi which cost about 13 EU each way. You could walk each way depending on time and inclination!!! The Fort is a must see and apparently free on Sundays and surprisingly, doesn't seem to be justly promoted. It is an uphill walk up to the fort and not wheel chair or stroller friendly once there After spending 2 or 3 hours of investigating,We enjoyed the surprise bonus of wandering into a little square where we enjoyed a drink while listening to a live musician and a very smooth vocalist singing easy-listening Frank Sinatra to an appreciative Sunday afternoon audience of no more than about 25 people. What a treat.

The fort is a great experience, away from the tourist masses of Avignon (don't miss the opportunity to stroll though Villeneuve-les-Avignon itself, similarly tourist-free). It can get very hot and dry up there so bring a drink, but the view from the towers is breathtaking.

I love being up high, and this is about as high as it gets in this part of France. Be warned, there are plenty of steps, but the views are worth it. The tiny Bellevue Chapel is a gem. Buy a combined ticket with Chartreuse for the best value.
