Considered as a major event, and a must see on the French theatrical calendar, the Festival d'Avignon draws the attention of professionals and amateurs from all over the world, and has over the years amassed a large number of faithful observers and commentators from France and abroad. Five hundred journalists from the written and audiovisual press (local, regional, national and international) come each year to Avignon for the Festival.
To allow a journalist to cover one or several performances at the Festival, his editor-in-chief has to send an application for accreditation to the Festival's Press Office.
The requests have to be sent current May and June with a photocopy of the journalist's press card enclosed.
