Avignon, the City of Popes, is the right address for La Mirande, which was built by the Pope's representatives to receive the city's notables and has been a hotel since 1990. Smart, authentic, and deeply Provençal: handmade furniture, antique fabrics, and a cooking school in the medieval kitchen. The four-course dinner in the candlelit dining room is one of Provence's most memorable experiences.

8:24 AM
The day must always begin with crumbing croissants, especially out in the gardens or Le Salon Louis XV, accompanied by sweet fruits and delicate silverware.
9:35 AM
Just next door is the Palace of the Popes – a medieval Gothic fortress that was the seat of the popes in the 14th century when the papal court was moved from Rome to Avignon. It’s now a UNESCO World Heritage Site so history buffs should seek this site out.
12:15 PM
Feast on Provencal plates back at the hotel: spider crab with rice or trout from Isle-sur-la-Sorgue. Have a little snoop through the wine list…it’s like a work of art. Ask the team to run through some local labels, they’re all worth a glass, or two.
2:28 PM
This team know all the coolest spots in Avignon, so get their on-the-ground recommendations. Like the locals, it’s not a city to rush so best enjoy it at a slow stroll.
6:30 PM
The Place de l’Horloge (the main square) is the beating heart of the city and it’s only a quick walk from the hotel. We love people-watching here with a traditional Avignon pastis (anise-flavoured spirit) in hand.
8:00 PM
This is something special, and it’s in the ancient kitchen of the hotel. You'll sit side by side with 11 other guests for three farm-fresh courses. Intimate, convivial and always a treat to watch the chefs hard at work over the wood-fired cast iron range.

Kitchen ingredients come from local producers with the same organic growing ethos. They also produce their own herbs on the roof.
The bones and building’s past are still very much alive today. The palace is preserved as a living hotel.
Pre-loved antiques and bits of furniture have found a home inside La Mirande.
