Avignon Tourist Office

This city, famed for art, was the centre of Christianity during the 14th century and has inherited an extraordinary legacy from this period: chapels, churches, city walls and of course the Palais des Papes and St Bénézet bridge which are listed as UNESCO world heritage sites. The theatre festival, set up by Jean Vilar, held in the summer, is a global event in the world of live theatre.
