AVIGNON

The historic centre of this former city of the popes is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Avignon, a city in Provence in south-eastern France, is crossed by the Rhône. From 1309 to 1377, the Catholic popes took up residence in the city. It remained under papal rule until 1791, when it became part of France. The Palais des Papes, which is located in the city centre, is surrounded by medieval stone ramparts and bears witness to this history.

The historic centre of the city, the Palace of the Popes, the Episcopal complex and the Saint Benezet bridge are listed as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. Originally the Forum d'Avenio - the Roman city in the 1st century BC - the Place de l'Horloge remains the "centre" of Avignon. Here is the Town Hall, built between 1845 and 1851 on the site of an old cardinal's livery, of which it has retained the old fortified tower transformed into a belfry in the 15th century, as well as the Jacquemart clock. Next door, the municipal theatre, also from the 19th century, houses the Avignon opera and at the top of the square, the pretty Belle Époque carrousel turns.

A meeting place, lined with café terraces and restaurants, the square is always very lively. Just like the Place du Palais above, a vast esplanade taken over in summer by street performers. And as its name suggests, here is the formidable Palais des Papes, emblem of the city and monumental witness to the importance of Avignon in the Christian world in the Middle Ages. Built from 1335 onwards, mainly by two builder popes, the austere Benedict XII and his successor, the much less ascetic Clement VI, the palace would become the largest Gothic building in all of Europe. The visit, which includes the private flats with their fabulous frescoes, is one of the must-sees in Avignon.
