Chers clients,
Une fois de plus, Avignon est mise en lumière ce samedi 17 mai 2008.
En effet, Michel Drucker, le célèbre animateur de télévision de France 2, consacrera son émission mensuelle “Tenue de Soirée” à notre magnifique cité des Papes, sur la place même du Palais des Papes.
Michel Drucker est un vrai amoureux de la région depuis de très nombreuses années, puisqu’il y a même une propriété du côté d’Eygalières. Ce cycliste invétéré a donc très souvent arpenté les routes de Provence, afin de décompresser un peu de sa vie parisienne.
Hier soir (lire vendredi 16 mai) il se trouvait au magasin Virgin, du centre d’achats Cap Sud, en vue de dédicacer son livre autobiographique “Mais qu’est ce qu’on va faire de toi?”. Bien entendu l’Avignon Hotel Monclar était présent et a pu faire quelques photos de l’animateur, très populaire auprès de toutes les tranches d’âge.
A ne pas louper ce soir donc, sur France 2, 20h45, l’émission Tenue de Soirée où de nombreux illustres artistes tels que Francis Cabrel, Charles Aznavour, Patrick Hernandez (auteur de la célèbre chanson “Born to be Alive”, mais aussi l’incontournable Mireille Matthieu, seront présents.
Bonne émission à tous, et n’hésitez pas à nous laisser vos commentaires, et nous envoyer vos photos si vous avez eu la chance d’être sur place !
Bon week end !

Dear guests,
Alterarosa (which refers to Altera Roma, as Avignon is also known) has become the highlight of the year for lovers of roses, Provence and cultural heritage. Last year, over 23 000 enthusiasts attended this special rose weekend in the prestigious Benedict XII Cloister at the Palace of the Popes, where new breeds of roses were unveiled for the very first time.
The greatest European rose growers collaborate with alterarosa, bringing their new creations to the Palace of the Popes to present them for the very first time to the public, and tell their story.
Avignon Tourisme and Jardiland, co-founders of the alterarosa event, have prepared this much-anticipated fourth edition. The 2008 alterarosa rose show at the Palace of the Popes takes place during four entire days, throughout the entire Ascension holiday weekend.
The Avignon Hotel Monclar thanks the Palais des Papes and all the people who help and participate to this event, and give us the opportunity so see some beautiful creation every year.
We really advice you to be here for this special event, from may 1st to may 04th.

Dear guests,
Cathedrale d’Images honours one of the greatest painters of history: Vincent Van Gogh.
The famous limestone quarry of Beaux de Provence was opened to public in 1977 by Albert Plécy but Anne Plécy, his wife, took over his work when he passed away suddenly in the same year. She ran the Cathedrale d’Image until 2001. Since then, Timothée Polad, his grandson, is perpetuating the vision of this unique setting.
During more than 30 years, thousands of visitors have come to see an ever-changing show and to feel the almost-religious peacefulness of the cool galleries tinged by colourful frescoes. Thus we can recall some memories such as the projecting group of Jacques Yves Cousteau in 1978, Michelangelo at the Sistine Chapel in 1996 or recently, in 2006, one honour to Paul Cézanne.
The exposition of Van Gogh takes place from 27th February 2008 to 4th January 2009 from 10 to 18 o’clock without interruption.
Avignon Hotel Monclar thanks to the site of Cathedrale d’Image for these precious informations.
