Review & FAQ:

Avignon is one of the major cities in Southern France. It sits on the Rhone River and was made famous as the place where the popes sought a haven during the 14th century’s corruption of Rome. The fleeing popes constructed a palace known as the Palais de Papes, which is the largest Gothic building in the world. Other than visiting this famous palace, other attractions include Le Post Saint-Benezet, which is a ruined bridge, the Place de L’horloge, and the covered market in Place Pie. Cruising the Rhone or biking along its shores are also great ways to spend time in this area. Map
