Bistro in the historic centre of Avignon | Le Bistrot des Bulleuses

Shopfront of the restaurant Le Bistrot by Les Bulleuses, place des Corps Saints in Avignon

A square with history

Place des Corps Saints takes its name from the relics of Saint Bénézet, moved in 1674 to the Célestins church, which borders the square. It is a favourite with the people of Avignon, and an emblematic square of the city.

Every July, during the theatre festival, the square is a meeting point for companies and festival-goers: the Théâtre des Corps Saints is based here.

In December, the square hosts the Provençal nativity scene with more than 600 santons in the Célestins church, with a market of santon makers and craftspeople: a must-see in the city, from 28 November to 31 December 2026.
