Graveson is a small village, once an ancient medieval walled town. It's quiet and calm here and has a very pleasant feeling. There are some narrow little streets in the center, an old church with tall steeple and sundials, and Medieval gateways (portails). (613908)
Graveson has a very fine museum for the painter Auguste Chabaud.
Graveson has a small, picturesque medieval center with some entrances through the ancient walls. The main Cours National is a long square divided by a double row of shady plane trees (platans), with a short stretch of canal at one end. The village isn't grouped around the center in an obvious way, so obtaining a map (free) at the Office de Tourism would be a help if you would like to explore the place thouroughly.
Graveson commerce in the village center includes a bank, small grocery stores, a couple of cafés and other small shops (see our photos). The shops are dispersed around the village so you'll need to search them out.
Panels of the paintings of Auguste Chabaud are placed around the village, showing the scenes right where they were painted. An interesting tour would be to wander around discovering these panels, comparing the tableaux with the view today, and at the same time discovering village. We found that the church spire cropped up in more scenes than we could see in actuality, but that could be a painter's poetic license.
In addition to its picturesque center, Graveson now serves as a bedroom community for the Avignon-Tarascon area.
For sites to see, there's the Chabaud museum in the village, and the Aroma museum and Aquatic garden just to the south (all three described below). A few blocks north of the center you'll find the Jardin des 4 Saisons (Four Seasons Gardins), open from Oct-Mar 8h-18h, Apr-Sept 8h-20h.
Market day is every Friday during May - October, from 16h-20h. (Note the late-afternoon time!) There's a special themed market the last friday of the month, from June-October.
Situation : 9 Km From Saint Remy De Provence, 10 Km From Avignon, 0,3 Km from shops, 0,3 Km from Town Center of Graveson.
