Avignon's Theater Festival

Every year, during the month of July, Avignon's Theater Festival takes place. Theater plays from all around the world come to the French city. The festival has plays for every taste: comedy, horror, drama...
 An interesting thing about the festival is that it is where most popular new French plays become famous. But, if you prefer to be in the "safezone", you can watch Cyrano de Bergerac, Macbeth, Hamlet, etc.
But if you are not a fan of theater, there is no problem: many street artists come to Avignon during the festival, so you can watch acrobacies and other amazing spectacles for just some coins!
As it takes place during the month of July, which is the month when most tourists visit France, the Theater Festival is a great alternative if you are planning a visit to Provence. The only problem is that it is so famous that the city gets completely full. That means: forget visiting other turistic points at Avignon...
