Make sure you have a full tank of gas, because Avignon is worth making a detour for. Situated 40 miles from Valvigneres, it’s home to a few fabulous attractions, such as Palais des Papes and Place de l’Horloge. Nîmes, 45 miles away, is another road-trip destination that’s worth the trek. Visit Maison Carree and Nîmes Museum of Natural History and Prehistory, two must-see sights in the area.
