The small town of Avion in the north of France is a perfect getaway for people looking for a green and pleasant destination that offers relaxation and beautiful scenery. Nearby you’ll find the larger town of Lens, a popular destination for day trips, but you won’t have to leave Avion itself to enjoy sights such as Republic Square and the family friendly Parc Cytises, a perfect spot for quiet walks. Historians will also appreciate the nearby Museum of War and Peace, built in the aftermath of the First World War, as well as “l'Anneau de Memoire” - the Memory Ring, a monument inaugurated in 2014 to commemorate a century since the outbreak of the same war. Visitors to the area will appreciate, too, the range of excellent Airbnb vacation rentals, a selection of which can be found below. Check into any of these accommodations in Avion and you’ll have the perfect stay.
