Hotel d’Europe was built at the end of the 16th century by the Marquess of Graveson as his private residence. In 1799 it was transformed into a hotel, and the magnificent building with its prime location in the centre of Avignon attracted countless famous guests over the years. Napoleon Bonaparte was the first, followed by such luminaries as Charles Dickens, Tennessee Williams, Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali. Avignon, with its rich history and unbeatable charm, has always provided creative minds with inspiration.
The town is home to the Palace of the Popes, built during the Catholic church’s brief split from Rome, and the world-famous medieval bridge Pont d’Avignon.
