Corporate event catering in Avignon
In Avignon, corporate events are split between a congress centre set inside the Palais des Papes and an exhibition park on the edge of town, serving an economy built on food, natural ingredients, agricultural research and culture.

Where we deliver in Avignon
- Centre des Congrès du Palais des Papes
- In two wings of the Palais des Papes, inside the city walls: the Palais car park gives direct access to the centre, which works with a list of approved caterers (check its terms for outside caterers).
- Avignon Parc Expo
- In Montfavet, east of the city and outside the historic centre: ask the organiser for the hall, the stand number, the delivery slot and the delivery badge.
- Collection Lambert
- A contemporary art museum housed in two 18th-century townhouses in the heart of Avignon, near Avignon Centre station, which hires out its courtyards, galleries and auditorium: agree the delivery point and the catering rules with its venue-hire team.
We also deliver to offices and unusual venues across the city, in particular Agroparc, Courtine, Avignon Nord, Technopôle Pégase.
The local constraint that changes the plan
During the July festivals, the walled centre is open to pedestrians only, apart from authorised vehicles: the permit is requested from the City of Avignon well ahead of the date. The rest of the year, the narrow streets inside the ramparts mean giving us the exact address, the nearest gate and the unloading point.
Who orders in Avignon
Orders come from food and natural-ingredient businesses, the agricultural research centres and university campus at Agroparc, logistics and trade firms at this Rhône Valley crossroads, and companies in aviation and the cultural and creative industries.
The big dates in Avignon
- Festival d'Avignon · every July
- A company inviting clients or partners to a performance plans its reception before or after the show, while the walled centre is open only to pedestrians and authorised vehicles: everything has to be arranged well in advance.
- Festival Off Avignon · every July
- A company taking its teams or guests to shows in the Off arranges its refreshments outside the ramparts or under a City permit, as each theatre sets its own rules.
- Cheval Passion · every January
- A gathering of the equestrian world, with its shows (including the Crinières d'Or) and industry professionals: a company hosting clients or partners there agrees the delivery slot, access and badge with the organiser.
How a delivery outside Île-de-France works
Everything is composed in Île-de-France and carried in a refrigerated vehicle, with an unbroken cold chain from loading to hand-over. The logistics line covers the real round trip, 1380 km, and appears as its own line on the quote.
For a large event, allow 72 hours between the order and the delivery; for a smaller order, 5 days. Payment is received before the service, as everywhere else: nothing is produced before the funds are in.
