Palais des Papes
Palais des Papes
The Palais des Papes is the 14th-century papal palace in Avignon, Vaucluse, run by Avignon Tourisme and open to ticketed visits.
Why go
The operator, Avignon Tourisme, describes the Palais des Papes as the largest Gothic palace in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage site, the papal residence and seat of the Church's government in the 14th century when the popes moved from Rome to Avignon. The palace stands at Place du Palais des Papes in Avignon's historic centre. The operator sells a combined ticket covering the palace, its pontifical gardens and the Pont d'Avignon (Pont Saint-Bénézet), with a mobile web app and temporary exhibitions. The operator's own page does not state opening hours in the text read, so none are given here.
