French Listening Comprehension exercise: how the Popes ended up in France

Hello French learners!
Welcome to this week’s listening comprehension exercise, from the Papal Palace in… Avignon. (That’s right, Avignon and not Rome.)

First, read through the transcript/translation.
Scroll back up to the “play button” to play the sound.
Listen for the words you see in the transcript. Listen over and over, until you hear every word – that should take 15 to 20 listens.
