Avignon, the city of the popes
Avignon, in the 14th century, welcomed the sovereign pontiffs who were forced to flee Rome. The city then spread throughout Europe and prospered despite the crises. Remarkable buildings such as the Palace of the Popes or the Pont Saint-Bénezet, which is the subject of a popular song, have survived from this prosperous period.
