Art, Theatre, Jazz and more....

Avignon is renown for it's cultural festivals throughout the year. The annual theatre festival is superb with many world class productions on offer. There are also some fantastic 'Off' productions from small theatre companies all over Europe, with young actors and an abundance of enthusiasm. It's always great fun just to sit in the sidewalk cafes and watch the passing parade of street theatre...day or night, it's a colourful site. The annual Jazz festival is always terrific too. With huge variations in 'jazz' and many new talents being discovered, it's always great fun to drift from cafe and bar, to street and .... the next cafe....the next club....!
