Palais des Papes

About

The Palais des Papes in Avignon conjures the grandeur of the 14th‑century papacy while offering modern visitor comforts. Beyond the majestic chambers and gilded halls, the palace’s restored gardens provide a tranquil outdoor escape. Visitors can explore the gardens alone – starting from the Maria Casares courtyard – or combine the journey with a palace visit and the iconic Pont d’Avignon for a price of €9.50. Seasonal events such as botanical walks, wine tastings from 18 30 h to 20 30 h on Thursdays, and free “Special Avignonnais” routes enrich the experience. The palace remains accessible by free digital guide, guided tours, and workshops, with entrance prices of €12 for adults, €6.50 for children 8–17, and free for those under eight. For the garden‑only visit, the fee is €3, making the site an affordable exploration of medieval architecture and Provençal landscape.
