Be sure to have plenty of gas in the tank, because Avignon is worth making a detour for. Located 25 miles from Lamotte-du-Rhône, it offers some terrific attractions, such as Palais des Papes and Place de l’Horloge. Nîmes is another place to consider. It’s situated just 35 miles away. If you venture out this way, Maison Carree and Nîmes Museum of Natural History and Prehistory should be on your itinerary.
