All our services in Avignon

Your property in Avignon, seen from abroad

Avignon hosts an international community used to Provencal second homes, with shops, schools and professionals accustomed to foreign buyers. The working language remains French: for administrative steps, setting up utilities or coordinating works remotely, a dedicated concierge can act on site. For the notaire, financing or currency exchange, French Realty connects you with a specialist partner.

The art of living in Avignon

Daily life revolves around the squares, covered markets such as Les Halles and a refined Provencal food scene. In summer, the festival turns the city into an open-air stage, boosting the atmosphere but also the crowds. The Rhone, its banks and the nearby Luberon and Alpilles open onto hiking, vineyards and hilltop villages just minutes away.

• Administrative help with settling in

  Tax number, bank, translations, the right people.

• Tables & restaurants

  A last-minute booking or a hard-to-get table: your concierge secures the right address and handles everything.

• Tickets & shows

  A match at the Parc des Princes, a sold-out concert, the opera or a festival: we find your seats and get you there effortlessly.

• Private events & receptions

  A private dinner, a birthday, a reception at home: caterer, florist, household staff, your concierge orchestrates every detail.

• Bespoke experiences & requests

  A getaway, a chauffeur, private shopping, a rare gift or an unexpected request: if it's possible, we make it happen. Tell us what you want, we take care of it.

• Another need

  A request that fits no box? Tell us: we find the right person and coordinate. Whatever the need, we handle it.

Getting there and around

Avignon is among the best-connected Provence cities: the TGV station, set apart from the centre, puts Paris about 2 h 40 away and serves Lyon, Marseille, Montpellier, Geneva and Brussels. The seasonal Avignon-Provence airport adds capacity; otherwise Marseille Provence (MRS) is about 1 h away and links the main European capitals, the Gulf hubs and New York with one stop. A shuttle links the TGV station to the city-centre station. Within the walls, traffic and parking are constrained: your dedicated concierge can arrange transfers and scout access.

The rhythm of the year

The Avignon rhythm follows the July festival, which absorbs rental supply and pushes short-term buzz and pressure. For buying, spring (March-June) remains the most active window, and late season (October-November) a quieter period open to negotiation. Always view outside the festival to gauge the real noise and footfall of an intra-muros address. For a remote project, start in winter, target in spring and sign in autumn.
