Palais des Évêques, Episcopal palace in Saint-Lizier, France.
The Palais des Évêques stands on Saint-Michel rock, featuring Gothic windows, ceremonial halls, and extensive architectural details from different periods.
The palace became the main residence of Viviers bishops in the 14th century after its acquisition in 1218 during the Albigensian conflict.
The Banquet Hall, constructed around 1450, includes a fully functional kitchen and served as a meeting place for the States of Vivarais.
The historical sections of the palace are managed by the Palais des Évêques association, which organizes guided tours and cultural activities.
Cardinal Mazarin stayed in one of the newly decorated chambers in August 1642, while d'Artagnan and his musketeers visited in 1670.
