Avignon seems to have several street artists who have decorated its walls or condemned windows. Here are just two examples of the many works we admired on the walls of the old city.

Avignon is the home of the Palais des Papes, a Gothic palace begun in 1252 CE and the home of the popes of the RC Church from 1309 to 1377 when the papacy returned to Rome. It's the largest Gothic palace in Europe and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It's an amazing place and much of it is not as ornate and lavish as you might expect. The two bottom, center photos were taken of the area in front of the palace.
