The Papal Palace was first built by the French king in the late 13th century. After Pope Clement V was elected as Pope in Rome, there was great turmoil in Rome, so he had to come to Avignon reluctantly, but he left the Papal Palace alone. It is thanks to Clement VI who has the same name as Clement VI that the building is so bright and huge now. It is really a palace. Although it is certainly not as gorgeous as the Vatican now, the free tablet tour is super cool and will restore 700 years of history. Let me show you the picture in front of you ~ and it’s in Chinese! ! ! You cannot take pictures of the two most beautiful rooms, I leave it to you to see for yourself, they are really beautiful ~ Pont de Saint Benezet is another famous attraction. Legend has it that in the 12th century, a shepherd wanted to When he wanted to build a bridge to connect the land at both ends, he was like Foolish Old Man who moved a mountain because he heard Jesus tell him to build the bridge and kept spending his own money to build the bridge. No matter how hard he built it, he tried to build it successfully, and in the end he was turned into a saint.

Interesting visit as this is my first time to this region. Everything is self guided within the attraction and got to use their interactive tablet to navigate myself around and understand each section in detail.

The most interesting and best equipped of all the Vatican Palaces. The 3D stereoscopic display of the past and present makes the whole visit process full of fun. I highly recommend it

The attraction is quite thoughtful. It is equipped with a tablet through which you can use VR technology to display the furniture of the past and see what people lived there in the past. There is also Chinese language.

The attractions are concentrated in the Pope's Palace, which is a little boring. The Avignon Bridge is very beautiful to take pictures. In short, it is worth buying.
