The Palais des Papes is a unique monument in the world for its architecture, its painted decorations and its landscaped environment. True masterpieces are preserved there today.
To be a Patron of the Palais des Papes is to become aware of our collective and individual responsibility in the face of the 700 years of history that the monument has gone through, but it is also to wonder about the future: after us, for generations future.
