    Excellent free historical site of one of the City's socialites making major contributions to the sciences. A great time capsule of a past era. Well worth the visit.

    Sehr schönes Adelshaus. Auch wenn es klein ist und man relativ zügig durch ist lohnt sich der Besuch um zeitgenössische Einrichtung zu sehen. Sehr gepflegt.

    We took the extended tour to the upper floors. Our guide took us through one locked door after another. The archives are simply amazing. It was so overwhelming that we completely forgot to take pictures!

    This gothic residence was renovated in the 17th century to become le palais du Roure. Les Baroncellis lived here for almost 500 years. It currently houses a collections of paintings and artefacts, amongst which some ancient bells, from the provence region. Free to visit.

    Avignon has several museums that you can visit at no charge. Palais du Roure is one of them. A visit will provide a look at an old bourgeois residence and a slice of Provençal history at the same time. Definitely worth the detour.

    Sehr schönes Palais in dem ein paar originale Räume besichtigt werden können. Angenehme Abwechslung beim Stadtbummel und sogar freier Eintritt.

    Interesting place to discover, but nothing magnificent

  • 4/5 Marc E. 8 months ago on Google
    Wir waren dort in einer surrealen „Indianer“ Ausstellung im Hof. Umsonst und irgendwie Crazy an dem Ort. Es ging wohl um französische Western der 50ziger bis 70ziger .
