If living in the heart of a renowned Provençal city is your dream, then look no further. Located in Avignon - a city steeped in history, celebrated for its theater and film festivals and classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site - this two-bedroom apartment is set within the medieval ramparts in a quiet residential neighborhood. Within walking distance are winding cobblestone streets, museums, architectural masterpieces, restaurants, shops, cafés and markets. You'll find everything you need to experience the best of city life in Provence.

The apartment is on the first floor (see note below) of a small building with just two apartments and includes a garage for one car on the ground level. Inside, the apartment has been entirely restored and decorated with great Provençal character and flair. Light and bright, it features high ceilings and windows on three sides. Casual contemporary furnishings are accented by French country antiques, richly-colored walls and fabrics. And the apartment boasts all conveniences including cable television and high-speed internet access.

To the right of the entry hall is a spacious living-dining room. At one end is the sitting area with red upholstered sofa and several easy chairs grouped by a glass-topped wood coffee table by the decorative fireplace with marble mantel. Opposite is the dining area with warm red walls offsetting a red wood dining table and chairs for 4 people. Off the entry to the left is the kitchen, equipped with all appliances and amply sized to include a breakfast area with wrought iron bunching tables and chairs. A door from the kitchen leads to the balcony with barbecue and outdoor dining furniture.

Completing the apartment are two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The bedrooms are on alternate sides of the apartment, providing more privacy. They feature colorful bedcovers, antique tables, bedside lamps and chests. The bathrooms include fine fixtures and pretty ceramic tilework with painted tile inserts. On the entry hall is a door to a queen-bedded room and full ensuite bathroom with American-style tub-shower. Off the main room is the second bedroom with a king bed convertible to twins and a large walk-in closet. The second bathroom is accessed on the hall nearby and has a shower.

A stylish apartment with all conveniences in the center of an exceptional Provençal city.

Note: rentals start and end on Friday.
