Cell towers in Avignon (Vaucluse)

4 supports are declared underground, in a gallery or a tunnel. For questions about exposure, see the exposure guide.

Most of the town's 121 masts are buildings (82); 4 underground or tunnel sites, 1 bridge or viaduct, 1 camouflaged "tree" pylon and 1 water tower make up the rest of the mix.

Antennas are listed at Zone Artisanale de Foncouverte, Montfavet-Château Blanc, 31 avenue de la Trillade, Clos de la Sacristie, Chemin de la Digue and Baigne-Pieds.

Over the past 12 months ANFR recorded 67 new systems here. ANFR has approved 7 new sites that are not live yet, plus additions on 23 existing masts. New: Bouygues Telecom (4G and 5G) at 29 avenue des Lierres, Free Mobile (4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at Avenue de la Pinède and Free Mobile (4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at Monclar. 45 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

6 masts belong to the commune itself and 7 to Hivory; the rest sit mainly on private buildings.

Systems from 1996 are still on the register. Bouygues Telecom switched on the first 5G here in November 2020; Free Mobile followed in December 2020, SFR followed in December 2020. 2013 was the busiest year, with 214 new systems, most of them 4G.

On 3.5 GHz, the fastest 5G band: Free Mobile on 24 of its 30 masts, Orange on 22 of its 30 masts, SFR on 22 of its 57 masts and Bouygues Telecom on 16 of its 43 masts. 5G is on 66% of masts here, against 84% across Vaucluse towns with five or more masts.

Most antennas sit on rooftops (82 of 121), so heights stay modest; the tallest support is 55 m at 27 avenue de la Trillade.

Only one mast carries all four networks; 37 supports carry only SFR.

Among the 26 Vaucluse towns with at least five masts, Avignon ranks 1st by mast count. With 121 masts for 92,188 residents, or 13 per 10,000, it has more masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (11).

Villeneuve-les-Avignon lies 2.5 km to the north-west and has only 15 masts.

Figures above cover installations declared to ANFR as in service or technically operational, as of October 2026; approved projects are not counted.
