Papal Palace

Papal Palace, you are thinking to yourself, I thought they were in France not Rome?  Turns out, there is a Papal Palace in Avignon.  I was not aware, but in the 1300's, there was about a 60 year period where the Papacy moved to France.  The tour said it was for "political reasons".   The Papal Palace is a world heritage site that we toured today.  Very nice and interesting. There is also a Roman bridge we will visit this evening.  Avignon is a very nice town, but we are only here one night.
