Attractions in Avignon
Those into adventures and excitement might not find many things to pump up their adrenaline. Instead, you will be taken to the world of ancient wonders, fascinating history and interesting stories depicting Avignon’s wondrous past.
Palais des Papes: is one of the main attractions in Avignon, marked as the city’s most significant building. The construction dates back to the time when Avignon replaced Rome as the papal residence. Join the guided tour to see many highlights in the church including the pope’s bedchamber, Chapelle St Martial, the pope’s antechamber, the stag room and the grand tinel.
Chartreuse du Val-de-Benediction: is recognised as the biggest Carthusian monastery in the country. This well-preserved church was once home to medieval monks and is now home to practicing artists who pay the rent by presenting their masterpieces at the church’s exhibitions.
La Fondation Angladon-Dubrujeaud: is a favourite spot for those into arts. The private art collection of Jacques Doucet, the renowned Parisian haute couture designer, as well as impressive works by Picasso, Duchamp, Braque, Max Jacob and Guillaume Apollinaire are on display here. Visitors can observe many fascinating antiques and objects d’art within Doucet’s former living quarters.
Musee Calvet: features a remarkable collection of ancient silver and art masterpieces by famous artists such as Corot, Manet, Vernet, David and Soutine. Housed in a gorgeous neoclassical 18th century mansion, the museum itself boasts the state-of-the-art architecture.
