Avignon France

Avignon is one of the major cities of Provence, in Southern France. It is the main city of the département of Vaucluse, and is on the banks of the Rhône river. Avignon was one of the European Cities of Culture in 2000. Avignon is home to the world’s largest Gothic edifice, Le Palais des Papes, a UNESCO world heritage site since 1995. The city is sprinkled with buildings and monuments ranging from the new to the old, the very old, and the ageless. Another world heritage site is Pont Saint-Bénezet, better known as le Pont d'Avignon, a famous half destroyed bridge. Avignon's charm, though, lies in the narrow streets of its medieval walled city which contain numerous Gothic and Baroque churches, as well as stunning maisons.Avignon is a vibrant and lively place that captures an ancient ambience that one can feel even around the crowds. Charming Avignon is truly a Medieval Jewel.
