Did you know?

Six museums (Petit Palais – Louvre en Avignon, Calvet, Requien, Lapidaire, Palais du Roure, Bains Pommer) and an ephemeral museum (Musée des Curiosités) complement each other and offer visitors a chance to see several thousand works of art – objects, documents, paintings, sculptures – in some of Avignon’s finest buildings. And what’s more, it’s free for everyone!

NEW!

The Pommer Baths Museum

Dating back to the Belle Epoque, the Pommer Baths are a unique and atypical site in France. The tour traces the development of these public baths over almost a century. Visitors are invited to immerse themselves in the day-to-day life of the establishment, discovering the evolution of hygiene practices, the history of the Pommer family who are the soul of the place, and also that of the baths’ users, reflecting the major changes in society.
