Séverine Durmaz - Péniche Althea
The Althea houseboat is a unique wellness haven in Avignon. Just a 10-minute walk from Place Crillon, nestled on Île Piot beneath plane trees and acacias, this atypical haven is open year-round. A multifaceted space, it features a juice bar on the water, an activity room hosting wellness-related classes and workshops, a riverside garden for relaxation and outdoor activities, and two guest rooms for timeless nights.
