| A home fit for a king, I mean a pope. |
One guy from France was elected pope, and then refused to turn up for work. He wanted to stay in France. For a century odd, the popes ruled from Avignon, and built 2 large castles, which were linked to make a huge one. Towards the end, there was a Rome pope and a French pope competing with each other. A Roman one won out eventually.

| Inside is not bad even after being pillaged a lot. |
We got to walk all over from the treasure room, where the goods were stored under the floor, to the kitchen. The kitchen was as at least as big as our living room, and the ceiling was 3 or 4 stories up. This makes it easier to smoke things, or store things. It must have been stunningly luxurious, fitting of the most important, but extravagant.
It rained all day, so the rest of them didn't go on the famous Pont D'Avignon, shame about that.
