This afternoon we visited the town within the mediaeval walls of Avignon, which was teaming with visitors, street performers and people fliering for the shows that are part of the Festival D'Avignon which is on at the moment.
Information. The Palais des Papes (English: Papal palace, lo Palais dei Papas in Occitan) is a historical palace in Avignon, southern France, one of the largest and most important medieval Gothic buildings in Europe. Once a fortress and palace, the papal residence was the seat of Western Christianity during the 14th century.
