La Comédie (Comedy Cafe), Avignon

Comedy Cafe (Café de la Comédie), located on the picturesque Crillon Square in Avignon, is a delightful spot that embodies the spirit of French café culture. Nestled in Avignon’s most artistic square and adjacent to the Port of Oulle, it offers quick access to the Isle of Barthelasse via the Edouard Daladier Bridge, making it an ideal stop for both locals and visitors exploring the city.

With a spacious terrace shaded by one of the two grand trees, Comedy Cafe provides a perfect setting to relax with a coffee and a slice of cake while enjoying views of the pedestrian square and historic city walls. The café carries a rich heritage, taking its name from Avignon's first Italian-style theater, inaugurated in 1732, which once dominated the city's cultural scene until the prominence of the theater on Clock Square (Place de l'Horloge).

Today, the café stands opposite the legendary Hotel de l'Europe and has become a beloved gathering spot, known for its warm atmosphere, excellent value, and friendly service. Its location on one of Avignon’s most beautiful squares and its connection to the city’s theatrical history make it more than just a place to dine; it's a vibrant piece of Avignon’s cultural tapestry. Whether you're stopping by for a morning coffee, a leisurely lunch, or a glass of wine during the Avignon Theatre Festival, Comedy Cafe offers an inviting slice of local life and a true taste of the city’s artistic charm.
