Guestbook for Rue Balance
“Your apartment is wonderful! It has such a serene atmosphere and the location can`t be bettered. It is right on the doorstep of the “Palais de Papes” and one of the best restaurants in Avignon is only 100 yards away. We will be back next year.” – Mr. A. & Mrs. J. Crowther, Market Bosworth.
Just a quick note to say how much we enjoyed our stay in Avignon. The apartment was superb and really did have everything - one of the best we've ever rented. W+K Troup. 2008.
We arrived last night after a month in Avignon. We had a first rate break enjoying the town and surrounds and the flat was first class and beautifully maintained - one of the best we have ever stayed at over almost 30 years. Thanks should also go to Claire who helped make the stay a pleasure. T. Stewart
