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.

Bellissimo e maestoso palazzo da ammirare prevalentemente all'esterno, internamente quasi vuoto ed allestito con discrete opere di un artista francese. La visita interna non mi sento di consigliarla, parco/giardinio interno minuscolo, organizzazione della visita da migliorare e percorsi poco chiari. Danno in dotazione dei tablet durante la visita, ma specialmente i ragazzi sono più intenti ad usarlo e smanettare che osservare ciò che li circonda

Savršeno izgleda. Za obilazak treba oko 2h.

Grandiose. Un ancien lieu de pouvoir religieux en plein Sud de la France, avec une architecture typique. Je recommande.

This is one of those places that is magnificent and full of history but that sadly looks much better from the outside than inside. Also some of the modern added decor features like shown in the second pictures make the place look worse by adding tacky aesthetic. The histopads are awful and heavy. An old fashioned printed map would be much better. Also inside the castle there is no proper signs on which way to follow the tour and things can get confusing really quickly. Also some information is in English but many descriptions concerning the history are still only in French and the Histopads don’t provide other translated information either. In a nutshell much can be improved about this experience.
