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.

Enorme, sconcertante, massiccio...oggi abbiamo grattacieli e voliamo nel cielo immenso, ma pensare sia stato costruito nel 1300 dando fondo a quasi tutto il patrimonio papale, contasse 13 torri e si sia mantenuto praticamente intatto é BOMBA

C est 'whaouh' ! Impressionnant, majestueux. Un site magnifique.

La grandeur du palais s'admire très bien de l'extérieur. L'intérieur est sobre (sinistre ?) et prête plus à la contemplation qu'à l'émerveillement. Toutes les pièces se ressemblent et les vitrines d'exposition sont sans intérêt. La visite en réalité augmentée sauve le coup même si ça ressemble à un pokémon Go.

Na het Vaticaan valt het wat tegen maar zeker niet zo druk en prijs is inclusief leuke tablet die je laat zien in 3d hoe het er vroeger uitzag.

The modern art on display looks like it's made by a 3 year old.
