Rue Joseph-Vernet, Commercial street in central Avignon, France
Rue Joseph-Vernet extends through Avignon with 110 building numbers, accommodating shops, offices, and residential properties along its length.
The street, initially named Carreria Callatæ in 1524, received its current name in 1881 to honor Joseph Vernet, an Avignon-born painter who created maritime scenes.
Several aristocratic mansions from the 17th and 18th centuries line the street, including the Hôtel de Cambis de Servières with sculptures by Joseph Bernus.
The street connects to the Indigo Neo parking facility that operates 24 hours daily and contains numerous retail establishments, legal offices, and medical services.
