Palais du Roure, centre for Provencal culture

Beschreibung

A site that bears witness to the history of a prominent Avignon family and to architecture that has been continuously remodeled since the 15th century.
Former Baroncelli-Javon Mansion, Flandreysy-Espérandieu Foundation. For five centuries, from 1469 to 1908, the Baroncelli family, originally from Florence, occupied this Gothic residence, which was converted in the 17th century into a private mansion and named the “Palais du Roure” by Frédéric Mistral in the 19th century.

Today it serves as a center for Mediterranean culture, with a special focus on Provence, its history, traditions, language, and literature. It houses an important collection of bells assembled by Jeanne de Flandreysy.

THE MUSEUM IS CLOSED FROM JULY 13 TO SEPTEMBER 1.
