Avignon - Palais de Pape
The Palace of the Popes, this is where the Catholic Popes resided from 1309 to 1377 and there were 7 successive popes lived here during the Avignon Papacy period. The area is just a joy to explore with beautiful gardens, grand fortifications and stunning views from the hill behind the palace looking down upon the Rhone river and its surrounds. The palace is an outstanding piece of architecture and is beautifully preserved and a credit to the city of Avignon.
