Avignon
city of
the Popes
PASS ION
T
he Rocher des Doms has been occupied by
human settlements since the Neolithic age. First
a small Greek settlement, then a Roman city,
Avignon grew considerably in the 14th century with the
arrival of the papacy. The presence of the popes in
Avignon for nearly one century gave the city exceptional
cultural and political influence as the Capital of
Christianity.
Avignon is surrounded by ramparts and has kept
its medieval character. The city is crowned by the
impressive Palace of the Popes, the basilica and the
Petit Palais. This unique set of monuments, which
also includes the Avignon bridge known as the Pont Saint-Bénezet and part of the ramparts
has been ranked as UNESCO World Heritage. Inside the city walls, Baroque and classical
architecture from the 17th and 18th centuries are a strong part of the urban fabric and the
19th and 20th centuries have also left their mark.
Ten museums with remarkable, rich collections, intense cultural activities all year long
including the world-famous theatre festival in the summer, and Avignon’s ideal location in
the heart of Provence make it an unforgettable place to stay.
Villeneuve
lez Avignon,
city of the
Cardinals
n the 14th Century, Villeneuve lez Avignon was home
to the cardinals. The medieval town of Villeneuve
lez Avignon is located on the right bank of the Rhone
River, facing Avignon, at 1,2 km. Villeneuve lez Avignon
enjoys a magnificent setting, well-protected and
preserved over the ages. Full of character, Villeneuve
lez Avignon offers a gentle lifestyle and a special
atmosphere.
Fascinating and full of surprises, a visit to Villeneuve
lez Avignon explores outstanding historical and
architectural heritage. During the 14th Century, Pope Innocent VI founded the Chartreuse
du Val-de-Bénédiction, the biggest in Europe, built at the base of the mighty Fort SaintAndré. Philippe le Bel Tower, at the other end of the Avignon bridge, marked the entry into
Villeneuve, located in the Kingdom of France. Also see, the Collegiate Church and its cloister,
the Pierre-de-Luxembourg museum and St-André abbey and gardens.
