What is the best time to visit Le Pontet?

The best time to visit Le Pontet is during the three-week-long Avignon Art Festival in July, which is the largest event of its kind in France. It’s worth braving the summer crowds to experience Provence’s lavender and sunflower fields in bloom. However, the balmy temperatures can make tent camping uncomfortable in the hottest months. Camping season in France runs from April through October, and most campgrounds are closed outside of this period.
