Inside a Historic Tapestry of French Design: Provence's Two-Key La Mirande
"Towering over Avignon, this glorious white fortress is the largest and arguably most important Gothic palace in Europe—the 14th-century headquarters from which the Avignon popes once ruled Western Christendom. Now a Unesco World Heritage site and one of Provence’s most fascinating monuments, it even hosts parts of the Festival d’Avignon in its courtyard; don’t miss the chambre du Cerf, the former study of Pope Clement VI, painted all around with sublime hunting scenes." - The MICHELIN Guide
