The historic Centre of Avignon (Papal Palace, Episcopal Ensemble and Avignon Bridge) is a UNESCO World Heritage site<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 14th century, this city in the South of France was the seat of the papacy. The Palais des Papes, an austere-looking fortress lavishly decorated by Simone Martini and Matteo Giovanetti, dominates the city, the surrounding ramparts and the remains of a 12th-century bridge over the Rhone. Beneath this outstanding example of Gothic architecture, the Petit Palais and the Romanesque Cathedral of Notre-Dame-des-Doms complete an exceptional group of monuments that testify to the leading role played by Avignon in 14th-century Christian Europe. (Unesco<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay in Avignon at the Hotel d’Europe<\/a>, a 16th-century building in the heart of Avignon, just a 5-minute walk from both the Palais des Papes and Pont St Benezet (sur le pont d’Avignon……). Avignon<\/strong> is one of our favourite destinations – lots of history, interesting walks and views, Provencal climate, TGV and wine!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
