Frommer's Recommended

The name of this 16th-century house (which translates as "the workshop") derives from the weaving machines that produced fabrics here during the 1950s. Since 2003, it has been the domain of Gérard and Annick Burret, who outfit their rooms in as romantic and nostalgic a style as possible. Each of the accommodations, some with high beamed ceilings, comes with a neatly tiled bathroom with shower or bathtub. A rear garden with potted orange and fig trees provides fruit for breakfast. A stone fireplace in the lounge blazes on cold winter nights. Continental breakfast is the only meal served. You'll find the hotel in the heart of Villeneuve-lèz-Avignon, a 2-minute walk from the Pierre de Luxembourg museum.
