Place de l’Horloge is one of the most central and well loved squares in Avignon. For many centuries, this town square has acted as a place of meeting and trading for the people of the city. Flanked by beautiful historic buildings, cafes and bars it is a firm favourite with visitors to the area. Many like to sit in the square with a glass of wine or a coffee, read a book, and watch the world go by, away from the busy shopping streets and tourist sites.
