Avignon cultural distinctions

1995 Avignon UNESCO World Heritage

Preserve the legacy from the past for all peoples of the world

 

At the December 1995 session held in Berlin, Germany, the Committee decided to inscribe

Avignon on the list of World Heritage sites. The site is inscribed under the name "Historic Centre of Avignon". This was changed at the 2006 session in Vilnius to "Historic Centre of Avignon:

Palace of the Popes, Episcopal ensemble and Avignon Bridge".

The scope inscribed includes Palace of the Popes' square, notre-Dame des Doms Cathedral,

Rocher des Doms garden, the Petit Palais, the Tour du Chatelet, the Tour des Chiens and the

rampart wall between the two towers, the Avignon Bridge.

On 16 November 2010, at the Nairobi session, the gastronomic meal of the French was

inscribed on the list of Intangible World Heritage. France then decided to establish a

"Gastronomy Celebration" on the first day of autumn <23 September> every year.

In 2011, Avignon was declared to be the pilot city for the first of these gastronomic

celebrations, with a gastronomic meal on Palace of the Popes' Square.

 

2000 Avignon European City of Culture

To mark the entry into the 21st century, Avignon was selected, along with eight other European

cities, as European culture capital. Each city was awarded the culture capital status for specific

themes : Avignon <Art and Creativity>, Bergen <Art, Work and Leisure>, Bologna <Culture and Communication>, Brussels <the City>, Krakow <Thought, Spirituality and Creativity>, Helsinki <Knowledge, Technology and Future>, Prague <Historical and Cultural Heritage>, Reykjavik <Culture and Nature> and Santiago de Compostela <Europe and the World>

 

2007 Avignon European Heritage

This distinction was created in 2007 to mark the 50th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome.

The distinction is awarded by the European Heritage Committee to historical places where

significant events took place, symbolic of European identity : cultural assets, monuments,

natural and urban sites that are places of memory.

One of the three first sites chosen by France is the Honour Courtyard at the Palace of the Popes

in Avignon, as a "heritage site symbolizing theatrical creation and the coming together of

European cultures".

A plaque was installed during a solemn celebration on the 60th anniversary of the Avignon

Festival, on 15 September 2007
