Avignon
Home to nine popes during the 14th century and one of the most beautiful cities in France today, Avignon is a treasure house of palaces, museums and meandering lanes, surrounded by an old fortified wall that still protects it from modernization. This city in the heart of beautiful Provence lays claim to dozens of historic monuments, especially the great Palace of the Popes which was gradually enlarged into an imposing fortification during the 60-year papal residency and is now a museum open to the public. Stroll over to Rue Joseph Vernet, perhaps the prettiest street in town, lined with lovely shops, galleries and restaurants. Detour a few blocks up and down Rue St. Agricol, which offers a similar environment of pleasant shops and leads to the main square of town, Place de lHorloge. Continue with a stroll along the main street of Avignon, Rue de la République, which extends through the center from the train station nearly to the Popes Palace in a straight line about a mile long. Look for one of the most picturesque streets in town, Rue des Teinturiers, the street of the tinters. Several ancient water wheels along this cobbled lane are still turning, pushed along by a quaint little, tree-lined canal. The wheels were once used to provide power for the manufacturing and dyeing of textiles. Now this is a trendy street, with cafes, boutiques and a small theater, a mere ten-minute walk from the town center.

Avignon Provence
www.eurodestination.com We spent two days in the town of Avignon in Provence, France. We got there by taking the Eurostar from London St Pancras going via Paris Gare de Lyon to Avignon direct and non-stop. Avignon is famous for the Medieval city walls, the Pont St Benezet, and the Palais de Papes, where seven popes resided in the 14th Century. Avignon was granted UNESCO World Heritage Status in 1995.

The Best of France - Avignon
The name Avignon comes from "Avenio" which means "town of violent winds." In the 14th century, this city in the South of France was the seat of the Papacy, the "French Vatican." The Palais des Papes, an austere-looking fortress dominates the city, the surrounding Ramparts, and the remains of a 12th-century bridge over the Rhone River. Beneath this outstanding example of Gothic architecture, the impressive walls of the Popes' Palace flanked by four mighty towers, the Petit Palais, and the Provencal 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. This architectural group of monuments has been ranked by UNESCO a World Heritage site. The Popes' Palace is the biggest Gothic palace in all of Europe (15000 m2 of floor space, which is the equivalent of 4 Gothic cathedrals). The famous bridge, Pont St. Bénezet, now retains only four of its original 22 arches. The best way to explore Avignon is to wander through its maze of medieval streets and stroll around the promenade leading to the gardens and the Rocher des Doms.

AVIGNON France
A famous song that features a bridge takes us into the French Provencal town of Avignon. 'Sur le Pont d'Avignon' begins the world famous French song that is familiar with both young and old alike. It is a song of dance on the Pont St. Benezet Bridge. Internal disputes, in addition to power struggles in Rome, transformed Avignon into the new seat of the Pontificate. The impressive Palais des Papes, 'Pope's Palace', dominates the centre of the town. Its exterior resembles a military fortress rather than a religious residence. A coat of arms above the main entrance is reminiscent of the papal court that was founded by Clement The Sixth. In 1348, he bought Avignon for 80000 florins from Johanna the First, Queen of Sicily. During his term of office he added a new, more luxurious building to the Old Palace that was constructed between 1334 and 1342. The beauty of the palace manifests itself in the numerous terraces and towers that were used for defensive purposes during the 14th and 15th centuries. Seven successive French popes transformed Avignon into one of the most glamorous medieval courts in Europe. The town's expansion gradually became increasingly more splendid and the pontificate's dependence on French royalty became further entrenched.
