Place du palais Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
In the 14th century, the Pope's Palace was crowded with houses, and after the 15th century these houses and winding streets were razed and opened into long and narrow squares. Since many tourists come to visit here, it is very lively. There are buskers performing in the square many times, which looks very interesting. Don't miss the shops around, there are many cheap delicacies to taste.
