In addition to the Célestins convent, there is also an église St-Pierre in Avignon:

It is my understanding that the "Pierre" in question is Pierre de Luxembourg. I was not, however, able to corroborate this information. I'm going by a dim memory of a pamphlet in the church. I haven't been in Avignon since 1978; at that time, the neighborhood in which this beautiful church stands was so bad, the building was open only for services, very much as is Sta Bibiana in Rome today.
