HERTZ CAR HIRE PROVENCE-ALPES
|
|
 This
page provides information for the inland area of
the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of France
and includes the departments of Alpes-de-Haute-Provence,
Hautes-Alpes and Vaucluse. For information and Hertz
locations in the coastal area of Provence-Alpes-Côte
d'Azur, including the French Riviera or Cote d'Azur,
please click HERE.
As their names suggest, the departments of Alpes-de-Haute-Provence
and Hautes-Alpes are both mountainous and are part
of the French Alps. The region is very popular with
holiday-makers all year round. In the summer the
area attracts walkers and people visiting to enjoy
the spectacular scenery as well as those pursuing
more adventurous activities such as hang-gliding
and and para-gliding. In the winter, visitors come
from across the world to enjoy the winter-sports
offered including skiing and snow-boarding. Hertz
provide ski adaptations for hire vehicles as an
option including snow tyres or chains and ski racks.
Car hire outlets in the area include Manosque, Digne
Les Bains, Sisteron, Gap and Briancon.
The Varcleuse department is only partly mountainous
to the east of the region and has picturesque fertile
lowlands to west in the Rhone Valley. The city of
Avignon is located in the Varcleuse department and
is made famous by the French children's song, "Sur
le pont d'Avignon". The bridge the song refers
to is the Saint Bénézet bridge over
the river Rhone. Other attractions in Avignon include
the Romanesque Notre Dame des Doms cathedral, the
Palais des Papes and numerous other historic buildings
and museums. Hertz has a branch in Avignon as well
as at other communes in the Varcleuse department
at Orange, Carpentras and Cavaillon. |
