Carthusian
Monastery
When Pope
Innocent VI was still a cardinal, he owned an hôtel particulier
and some land in Villeneuve lès Avignon. After he was elected
pope in 1352, he donated it to the Carthusian order and had it
reconstructed to accommodate the monks. The Carthusian monastery
consists of one church and three cloisters surrounded by numerous
cells, which make it the largest Carthusian monastery in France.
Considering it is 658 years
old, the quality of the frescos is amazing!
