| Avignon, a city of Provence in south-eastern France, stands on the banks of the Rhone. From 1309 to 1377 it was the seat of the Catholic Popes, and remained under their rule until 1791, when it became part of France. As evidence of this past, the imposing Palazzo dei Papi remains in the city center, surrounded by medieval stone fortifications. |
