Make sure you have enough gas in the tank, because Avignon is well worth a detour. Situated 20 miles from Saint-Pierre-de-Vassols, it’s home to some fantastic attractions, such as Palais des Papes and Place de l’Horloge. Nothing says living big like a road trip does, so keep on cruising to Aix-en-Provence. It’s 40 miles away and also features a few excellent sights, such as Cours Mirabeau and Place des Precheurs.
