A Secret Corner of Avignon to Find Some Serenity

                                 
Near the Palace of the Popes in Avignon (during the summer, in the heat of Avignon, the old city can be packed with hundreds and hundreds of tourists ), so just off the main square, there is a lovely little tea-room tucked away in a 15th century chapel and its garden next to the Musee du Petit Palais (you don't have to stump up the museum admission charge to get in.) It is a marvelous sea of tranquility a stone's throw from the tourist crowd. It is named Autour d'un Thé ( a journey over or around tea), They serve home-made patisserie and light lunches every day, apart from Tuesday,and the weekend Themed brunches here are terrific ( reservations required).
( there is also seating inside)
