What it is

Festival d'Avignon explained

The largest theatre festival in the world: the main programme in the Palais des Papes courtyard, plus 1,500 fringe shows in the OFF taking over every street.

Dates can shift by a day or two when a local council moves the programme to a weekend, so confirm with the town hall before booking non-refundable travel. Accommodation in Avignon tends to sell out weeks ahead of the festival and prices rise sharply on the main night.
