Student or internship accommodation: flexible solutions

Whether you are a student, young professional, intern under the age of 30, or researcher in Avignon, you need flexible accommodation. We adapt to your academic or professional constraints. For the duration of an internship, exams, or a summer job, you can rent a furnished, comfortable apartment in a student residence in Avignon for a limited period, subject to availability. You gain simplicity and peace of mind.

A short stay gives you the freedom to organize your time. You choose a duration of a few weeks to several months and adjust it if your schedule changes. No long-term leases or complex formalities: you remain in control of your dates.

In terms of budget, you save money. You only pay for the period during which you occupy the accommodation, nothing more. It’s a fair and effective option for preserving your finances, especially when your needs are temporary.

You also benefit from welcome geographical flexibility. The residences are located in strategic locations in Avignon. You can settle near your campus, your internship location, or your favorite points of interest in the city. You live where it’s most convenient for you.

The services remain the same. As with long-term stays, you have access to bicycle storage, coworking spaces, and, depending on the residence, a laundry room. You arrive, you put your things down, and you feel at home.

Short stays also offer enriching encounters. You can chat with other students, make friends, build a university or professional network, and open yourself up to new cultures.

Our goal: to simplify student life in Avignon with accommodation that adapts to your changing needs. Whether it’s for a few weeks or several months, we’re here for you.

Student life and leisure: what to do in Avignon?

Culture, festivals, and inspiring places

Avignon is a major cultural hub that comes alive every day. Every summer, the Festival d’Avignon Off transforms the city into a living laboratory: from the Palais des Papes to small venues, visitors can enjoy everything from revisited classics to emerging creations. Throughout the year, the Lambert Collection, the Calvet and Lapidaire museums, the Opéra Grand Avignon, the Carmes and Chêne Noir theaters, and the Utopia and Vox cinemas maintain a steady pace, with student rates. Between classes, you can stroll across the ramparts, stop at a shaded square, and pop into an exhibition, concert, or reading, then discuss it over coffee with your friends. The media libraries and university library on the Hannah Arendt campus offer a quiet place to work, free workshops, Wi-Fi, and professional networking opportunities. On Barthelasse Island, open-air stages, craft markets, and open-air cafés offer a breath of fresh air by the water. In the evening, café concerts and cultural venues mix DJ sets, slam poetry, and improv theater, while illuminated monuments give a unique vibe to your strolls. Here, everything is close by: you can go to rehearsals, screenings, and art openings without breaking the bank. The result is a daily life that feeds your inspiration and allows you to create your own path, between heritage and innovation, traditions and new forms of expression.

Nightlife, encounters, and tips

In the evening, the atmosphere is friendly, never stifling. We meet up around Pasteur or Avignon center for dinner, drinks, or a club night. The student neighborhoods offer common areas where you can relax, a study room, or even a gym. Our modern, secure residences offer high-speed internet, equipped kitchenettes, and sometimes laundromats, parking, or bike racks. The services included simplify life: monthly rent, on-site student residence staff, and online application. You can also explore the towns of Greater Avignon in just a few tram or bus stops.
