Itinerary
Day 1
Avignon Free Time
Close
Enjoy a stroll downtown and visit the Papal Palace, the largest in Europe. Sat on a rocky hill in Avignon, looking onto the River Rhone, the palace was built on the grounds of an Episcopal church, starting in the 12th century. As the official seat of Western Christianity in the 14th century, the medieval building became one of the most important Gothic buildings in France. Over the years, the palace has been in a constant state of restoration since it was to become a national museum in 1906.
