The Papal Palace (Palais des Papes) dominates Avignon and is one of the largest Gothic buildings in Europe. The Pont Saint-Bénézet, famous from the song "Sur le pont d'Avignon," offers historic architecture overlooking the Rhône. The Musée du Petit Palais displays works by Italian and Provençal masters. Narrow streets in the old town invite strolls among medieval houses and small squares.
