The history of Avignon
   


Occupied since the prehistory,
Avignon was always, a home of
culture
and a crossroad of civilizations.

Each period of its history, that during the
most important of them Avignon was the
capital of the
Christian Europe, still
deeply marking its
architecture.

This exceptional destiny which brought
the downtown to be listed by the UNESCO,
could be read as an open book in every
street, and every corner as a
travel
through the history.
