park-and-ride
Rte de l'Islon, 84000 Avignon, France
Free
Open 24h
- Price notes
- Free, with a free shuttle into the centre — but break-ins are repeatedly reported here (smashed windows, bags taken), so take everything of value with you and leave nothing on show.
- Walk to centre
- 15 min
Parking Île Piot is the other big free park-and-ride on the Rhône, with large bays, easy access and a free shuttle into the centre (it stops at the Porte de l’Oulle); it is also an easy 15-minute walk to the old town. The honest caveat — and it recurs in the reviews — is theft: several guests describe rear windows smashed and bags taken, with rental cars and foreign plates apparently targeted. It is a genuinely useful, free option, but treat it like any open lot in a tourist city: take everything of value with you and leave nothing visible. It is open-air, so it also gets very hot in summer.
