Avignon, La Cité des Papes | France

Postcard
The Pope resides in the Vatican. Well, not completely through in the period from 1309 to 1376 during which seven successive popes resided in Avignon (then in the Kingdom of Arles, part of the Holy Roman Empire, now in France) rather than in Rome.

Historic Centre of Avignon: Papal Palace, Episcopal Ensemble and Avignon Bridge is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
