What should I pack when moving to Avignon?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Avignon to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Avignon, you should pack a variety of clothing to accommodate for the city's Mediterranean climate, including lightweight clothing for the hot summers and warmer clothing for the cooler winters. Don't forget a good quality raincoat or umbrella as Avignon can experience heavy rainfall, especially in the autumn months. Pack comfortable walking shoes as the city is best explored on foot. Also, consider packing a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun during the summer months. Bring any necessary prescription medications and a basic first aid kit. It's also a good idea to pack travel-sized toiletries to use until you can purchase more locally. If you plan on cooking, you might want to pack some non-perishable food items that you may not find in France. Remember to pack all necessary travel documents, including your passport, visa documents, and driver's license. It's also a good idea to bring copies of these documents, as well as any important medical records. Pack a French phrasebook or dictionary if you're not fluent in French, as well as any other entertainment items like books, a laptop, or a tablet. Lastly, don't forget to pack a power adapter for your electronics, as France uses a different plug type than many other countries," commented one expat who made the move to Avignon, France.
