The Avignon Festival was founded in 1947, and is funded by the French national and local authorities. Every summer we stage around 40 major theatrical and dance performances in many venues, including open-air ones such as the courtyard of the Palais des Papes (the papal palace).
亞維儂藝術節創始於一九四七年，由法國官方舉辦，在每年夏天推出約四十個戲劇或舞蹈的大型節目，在教皇大殿及宮殿的中庭等露天場地演出。
