Located on the east bank of the Rhone River in southeastern France, where the valley opens up into a broad delta plain lies the city of Avignon. Before becoming part of France, Avignon was the capital of the papacy for about 70 years when the Popes were trying to escape the corruption of Rome in the 14th Century. Their impact is still evident today in the grand gothic structure that towers over the city, Le Palais des Papes.

Walking through the city of Avignon is an experience in and of itself, with narrow alleyways leading to big open squares, stunning architecture everywhere you look, and little cafes nestled along small streets. You have to see the Palais des Papes during your visit — an enormous structure and one of France’s most famous and valuable historical buildings.
