The Avignon Festival is set here and the courtyard is now full of cafes and restaurants to sit and relax in the quite eerie setting. Built in the 1300's it survived a fire in 1413, which destroyed artwork and parts of the building. There is a guided tour available which makes it easier to view the labyrinth of rooms.
