Avignon Rue De La République To Place Pie

Between rue de la République and the hideous market hall on place Pie (mornings Tues-Sun) is the main pedestrian precinct, centring around place du Change. Rue des Marchands and rue du Vieux-Sextier have their complement of chapels and late medieval mansions, in particular the Hôtel des Rascas on the corner of rue des Marchands and rue Fourbisseurs, and the Hôtel de Belli on the corner of rue Fourbisseurs and rue du Vieux-Sextier. The Renaissance church of St-Pierre on place St-Pierre has superb doors sculpted in 1551, and a retable dating from the same period. More Renaissance art is on show in the fourteenth-century church of St-Didier (Mon-Sat 9am-noon & 2-7pm, Sun 10-11am), chiefly The Carrying of the Cross by Francesco Laurana, commissioned by King René of Provence in 1478. There are also fourteenth-century frescoes in the left-hand chapel.
