The Palais du Roure, also called the Hotel Baroncelli-Javon or Museum Baroncelli, is located in Avignon and was built in the XV century. In 1469, the Italian Ghibellines Pierre Baroncelli, a native of Florence, acquired the ownership of the tavern and a few neighboring houses and wanted them to rebuild in his residence. However, he built the Hotel Brocelli-Avon.

In the nineteenth century, Frederic Mistral, who loved to come here, renamed it the Palais du Roure, which means "Oak Palace". Being the property of the Marquis There de Baroncelli-Javon the Palace became a favorite place for representatives of felibrige (movement for the revival of Provencal literature and language). In 1908, the Palace was sold. Over time it has greatly destroyed, but was rebuilt in 1918 Jeanne de Flandres, who decided to make the Palace Museum of Mediterranean culture. The city of Avignon has inherited the Palace in 1944. In our days the collections of the Museum available to the public.

In the courtyard of the Palais du Roure on the walls hang several unique copies of old bells, collected by Jeanne de Flandres. The bells belong to different eras, they have different sizes and different origin.

Here at the Museum of Provencal and Italian art you can see the illustrations to the divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri, engravings by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, letters of Theodore Aubanel, stagecoach frédéric Mistral and other artifacts.
