Avignon,
city of the
Popes
A
Villeneuve
lez Avignon,
city of the
Cardinals
I
vignon has over five thousand years of history.
Due to its strategic geographical location,
Avignon has long been a crossroads of cultures
and exchange. Avignon was once the capital of the
Cavare tribe, then a Phoenician trading post, then an
opulent city under the Romans. The famous bridge was
built in the 13th century, easing travel and enhancing
Avignon’s attraction. As the choice of the papacy in
the 14th century, Avignon became the capital of the
Christian world, drawing the best architects and
artists who left their indelible influence, changing the
face of the city forever.
Avignon is surrounded by ramparts and crowned by the Palace of the Popes, whose
impressive size symbolized the pontifical power. Next to the palace stands the Cathedral
and the Petit Palais, now a museum. UNESCO has declared this magnificent architecture,
the Avignon bridge and part of the ramparts as a World Heritage site. Upon exploring the
center city, it is easy to see that in addition to the strong medieval influence from the period
of the papacy, Avignon also has many examples of 17th and 18th century Roman Baroque and
French classic architecture, and 19th and 20th century works.

2014
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. 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 Saint-André. 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.
