FIESTA SIDE
Where Provence goes after dark — bars, live music and the late ones worth staying up for.

Avignon in festival month
The OFF programme ran 4-25 July in 2026 with well over a thousand shows, and the streets become one long flyer campaign.
Place de l'Horloge
Avignon's café square: heaving until late in July, and quiet by ten o'clock in February.
Village apéritif
Most Luberon villages have exactly one bar on the square and it closes early. Plan dinner around that, not the other way round.
Domaine tastings
Côtes du Rhône and Ventoux estates run late-afternoon tastings, and almost all of them want a booking.
Summer village festivals
Open-air concerts and film nights run through July and August in the squares. Ask at the mairie or the tourist office for the week's list.
