Have you ever been to Avignon in the south of France?
You can not miss the majestic Papal Palace, which took up residence there in the 14th century.
Six Popes followed one another during this period.
It was built in Gothic style and is one of the most beautiful monument in France
of this period.
The palace dominates the Rhone which passes at its feet,
the Saint-Benezet bridge served as an important strategic and commercial route.
A legend says that Pope Clement V would have hidden a treasure of gold inestimable,
confiscated to the Knights Templar and for fear of being robbed, he would have transferred to Villeneuve les Avignon, the Carthusian monks for security, in one of the souterains that dominates the city!
People are still looking for him, in vain ...
At the edge of the palace, you can go up to Rocher des Doms,
the oldest inhabited place of the city since Prehistory!
It is now transformed into a relaxing garden,
where you can drink coffee or eat, by the water and fountains.
Do not hesitate to visit this enchanting place !!!
