Le Limas

Avignon


This chic B&B in an 18th-century townhouse, like something out of Vogue Living, is everything designers strive for when mixing old and new: a state-of-the-art kitchen and minimalist white decor complementing antique fireplaces and 18th-century spiral stairs. Breakfast on the sun-drenched terrace is divine, darling.
