History


In the 6th century the Benedictine abbey of St André was founded on Mount Andaon, and the village which grew up round it took its name.[3] The city itself was founded by Philippe le Bel and boasts a castle he built, Fort Saint-André.

The town was also the resort of the French cardinals during the sojourn of the popes at Avignon, in the 14th century.[3]


Geography


It is located on the right (western) bank of the river Rhône, opposite Avignon.
