The Palais des Papes, a major monument in the PACA region, sits at the gateway to Provence, where the Rhône meets the Durance.

At the gateway to Provence, where the Rhône meets the Durance, the Palais des Papes proudly stands like a fortress. With over 650,000 visitors a year, it is one of the ten most visited monuments in France. A true symbol of the Church's influence on the Christian West in the 14th century, this monumental 15,000m2 masterpiece is the largest medieval fortress and the largest Gothic palace in Europe. The palace was listed as a World Heritage Site by Unesco in 1995. Well worth a visit.

Beeindruckendes Bauwerk aus dem 13. Jahrhundert. Man kann kostenlos um den Papstpalast herum schlendern und einige Treppen hinaufgehen. Der Palast ist hervorragend erhalten und eine absolute Sehenswürdigkeit, wenn man in der Region ist.
Hinter dem Papastpalast befindet sich noch ein kleiner, schattiger Kinderspielplatz.

Being very exited to visit this very historical site, I was shocked to see how disgustingly decorated it is in its current state. Rather than celebrate it as it was originally, those running the structure have decorated it with very tacky blue bricks and large ball structures everywhere. It's a train wreck. I was so disgusted by how horrible the staff have decorated this beautiful castle, I left as soon as possible. Whoever made the decision to do this, should be fired, rehired, and then fired again. It's easily the most disappointed historical site in all of Europe. Shame on those responsible for this travesty!
