House of the Pope The popes moved from Italy to France from 1309-1377 and built and lived here.
The church and house of the popes were built in 18 years. Each pope would put an addition or changes things. Only fully walled city. Miles of wall.

Jewish synagoue, has services today. There was a getto area. All the Jewish people were murdered during WW2. I felt I smelled corn beef as we were walking here.
Here are the cobble stone streets we walked. Next time I visit an area like this, I will wear my hiking boots.
How they hide sewage and underground things in a medieval city.
