If you ever find yourself in Avignon, you have to check out the Papal Palace. This isn’t some dusty old ruin — it’s basically the medieval Vatican, only with better Provençal sunshine. Back in the 14th century, the popes moved here and built a fortress-meets-palace so huge you could get lost inside. Wander the echoey halls, climb the towers for epic Rhône River views, and imagine the political drama that once filled these rooms. History, power, and a killer backdrop — what’s not to love?
