Parking Palais des Papes is the underground car park right in the heart of the old town, beside the Popes’ Palace — “the most convenient parking in Avignon,” as a regular puts it, with spaces usually available and the main sights on your doorstep. It is paid (one guest paid about €12 for six hours), and you pay at the machine on level 0 before going back to the car. The trade-off is the building itself: spaces and the ramps between levels are narrow, it is fairly dark, and the pedestrian navigation confuses people. For a normal car it is the obvious central choice; with a large car or SUV you may prefer a roomier lot like the Oratoire garage or a park-and-ride.
