Inside the Palace of Popes
Inside the walls of the Palace are two main courtyards. The first and largest is used for concerts and other events. The stage is still set up. In July Avignon hosts the Avignon festival of the arts.
BENOÎT XII CLOISTER is being set up for a rose growers convention and exhibition. It is the smaller of the two courtyards.
The hall above is called the Grand Tinel. It is often used to host banquets.
The tour includes viewing more than 20 rooms. Many of the rooms are decorated with frescoes, however, photographs are not allowed in these rooms.

Breathtaking! It amazes me to see how intrigue the architecture was way back then. I loved the tour! Thanks for sharing such a magnificent place.
