Try some traditional Avignon cuisine: which mixes typical French ingredients such as garlic, olives and olive oil with a lot of fresh seafood, with a kick of spices. Try signature dishes such as Pates aux coquillages (seafood pasta); poivron farci (stuffed bell pepper); soupe de lentilles Provencale (lentil soup) and tourton du champsaur (stuffed beignet).
Roller skating: is a great way to see what the city has to offer and also to exercise. There is a monthly skating event which takes place on the last Friday of every month and sees everyone skating together within the city ramparts.
Golf: enthusiastic golfers on holiday practice their swing at the Pradier Golf Grand Avignon on Les Chenes Verts and at Golf de Chateaublanc on rue de Chateaublanc.
Nightlife: one thing to note when it comes to nightlife in France is that the legal drinking age is 16, so you might want to keep your teenage children informed. Have a fun, family night out and club with your kids at one of many nightspots around Place du Palais, Place des Corps-Saints and Place de l’Horloge.
