If you’re on the hunt for a pleasant detour, turn your steering wheel in the direction of Avignon. It features terrific attractions like Palais des Papes and Place de l’Horloge. To get there, travel 35 miles from Vercoiran. Get ready to start racking up those miles, because Cours Mirabeau and Place des Precheurs are also a rewarding day trip. You’ll find these fine sights in Aix-en-Provence, 55 miles away.
