Avignon is on the left bank of the Rhône river.

 

Between 1309 and 1377, seven successive popes resided in Avignon. Papal control persisted until 1791 when, during the French Revolution, it became part of France.

 

The town is now the capital of the Vaucluse department.

 

The historic centre, which includes the Palais des Papes, the cathedral, and the Pont d'Avignon, became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995.
