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.

Ein hübsche Innenstadt mit dem beeindruckenden Papstpalast. Leider wieder alles voll mit touristischen Läden.

Von außen sehr schön. Da es innen keine Einrichtung gibt, trotz kostenlosen Audioguide etwas langweilig, da es nicht viel zu sehen gibt.
Das Parkenn in Avignon ist sehr teuer. 35€ für 4hm Stunden. An Feiertagen aber kostenlos (eventuell auch Sonntags?).

Un espace fabuleux pour le festival.

In my opinion, the building's exterior is just as, if not more, impressive than its interior. Be sure to see the small passage outside—it's truly remarkable. While the interior is quite bare, it still has its moments. Unfortunately, the modern art displayed detracts from the building's potential grandeur.
