When the sun is beating down, nothing beats a good ice cream to cool off. Artisanal, generous, sometimes organic or with original flavors, ice cream is one of those little summer pleasures that we love to savor while strolling, in the shade of a small square or by the water. Here are our favorite places in the Grand Avignon to melt... without overheating!
01

Located on the charming Place des Corps Saints, The Princely is an Avignon institution for lovers of authentic ice cream. Here, everything is homemade, using raw ingredients from the region: whole milk from the Alpilles, organic fruits from Provence, flavors without colorings or enhancers. Fruity sorbets, creamy ice creams, vegan or gluten-free options, there is bound to be something for everyone. All to be enjoyed on a pretty terrace or to take away. Special mention for their pop-up at the TGV station!
