The Palais du Roure, former home of the Baroncelli family, in Avignon is a museum dedicated to popular arts and traditions,

Magnificent Gothic-style residence occupied by the Baroncelli-Javon family, originally from Florence, for five centuries from 1469 to 1908. Frédéric Mistral named it "Palais du Roure". In 1918, Jeanne de Flandreysy, a friend of Mistral and Folco de Baroncelli, bought and restored it, before ceding it to the city of Avignon in 1959. Today, it houses the Center for Mediterranean Culture, dedicated to Provence, its history, traditions, language and literature. On display is a collection of bells assembled by Jeanne de Flandreysy.

This palace was built in 1469 and was created from a tavern and several smaller residences by Pierre Baroncelli from Florence. In the 1790s it was converted to a hotel often frequented by Frederic Mistral. It was later acquired by the city of Avignon.

The museum is free and worth a tour. There is now a special exhibit on the French cowboy/movie star Joe Mamman.
