Palais des Papes Entrance Tickets with Histopad and Access to the Gardens



Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Palais des Papes was built in the 14th century and consists of two buildings: the old palace of Benedict XII and the new palace of Clement VI. Thanks to the HistoPad provided at the beginning of the visit, dive into the Middle Ages and relive the daily life of the first popes of Avignon.

During this virtual experience, you will be amazed by the immensity of this largest medieval fortress and the biggest Gothic palace in the world. The 15,000 square meters of living space are the equivalent of 4 Gothic cathedrals. Visit the papal intimate gardens with direct access from the apartments which have been restored to their former glory with the re-creation of the griffin fountain and flower meadow. At the end of the visit, climb up to the terraces of the Palais des Papes. They offer a superb view over the main courtyard of the palace but also over the city of Avignon and the Rhône.
