Palais du Roure, also known as Hotel-Zhavon or Baroncelli Baroncelli Museum, located in Avignon, and was built in the XV century. In 1469, the Italian Ghibelline Pierre Baroncelli, a native of Florence, has acquired the ownership of the tavern and several neighboring houses and they wanted to rebuild his residence. However, he built the Hotel-Barochelli Zhavon.

In the XIX century, Frederic Mistral, who liked to come here, renamed it Palais du Roure, meaning "oak palace." Being owned by the Marquis Folco de Baroncelli-Zhavon palace became a favorite place for representatives of the current filibridzh (movement for the revival of Provençal literature and language). In 1908 the building was sold. Over time, it is much collapsed, but was rebuilt in 1918 by Jeanne de Flandresi who decided to make the Palace Museum of Mediterranean culture. The city of Avignon inherited the building of the palace in 1944. Today the collection of the museum accessible to the public.

In the courtyard of the Palais du Roure on the walls hang a few unique specimens of ancient bells collected Jeanne de Flandresi. Bells belong to different eras, they themselves are of different sizes and different origins.

Here at the Museum of Provencal and Italian art can be seen illustrations of the "Divine Comedy" by Dante Alighieri, prints Giovanni Battista Piranesi, a letter of Theodore Obanelya, coach Frederic Mistral and other exhibits.
