The Quirinal Palace in Rome was the historic residence of popes before Vatican City became an independent city-state. Today the pope normally lives in the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican. Pope Francis has chosen, however, to live in a small apartment in the Casa Santa Marta.

The popes resided in the Lateran Palace and the Quirinal Palace in Rome, then in Avignon (France) from 1307-1377 AD, before returning to the Papal Palace in Rome. The Vatican City was later established by Mussolini in 1929.
The popes have always been the Bishops of Rome, and so they have mostly lived in Rome, throughout the history of the Church. There have been times when the popes did not stay in Rome much, or did not stay there at all. There was a time from 1257 to 1309 whose popes are called the "wandering popes" because the political situation in Rome was such that they were unsafe there. There was also a time from 1309 to 1377 when the popes lived in Avignon. Aside from these times, there were papal palaces in different places where the popes would stay when they had some reason to be there. There is a link below to the an article on the history of the papacy.
In 1309, Pope Clement V moved the Roman Catholic Papacy to Avignon in Provence France. From 1309 until 1377, seven Popes reigned in Avignon before the Schism between the Roman and Avignon churches, which led to the creation of rival popes in both places. After that three Antipopes reigned in Avignon until 1423, when the Papacy finally returned to Rome.
The popes of the Catholic Church have always been the bishops of Rome. That being the case, they nearly all lived in Rome, in a papal palace. There were other papal palaces in other cities, and there were times when the popes did not live in Rome at all. There was a period from 1257 to 1309, when the popes were said to have been wandering, because they rarely went to Rome because of political situations in the city. There was also a period from 1309 to 1377 when they lived in Avignon. But mostly, they lived in Rome.
It is called the Apostolic Palace and is normally where the pope lives and works. However, Pope Francis has chosen to live in a small apartment in the Casa Santa Marta, a housing facility for visiting dignitaries and there the cardinals are housed when they are in Rome for a conclave.

Some castles that you can visit in France include Chateau Chissay, Palace of the Popes and The Castle of Foix. If you only have time to visit one of these castles, the best one to visit is the Palace of the Popes.
The fortunes of medieval Rome rested on being the seat of the papacy. From 1309 to1377 seven popes resided in Avignon in France, instead of Rome (the Avignon Papacy). With the absence of the popes, the population of Rome decreased and the city was neglected. When the popes returned to Rome they undertook ambitious programmes of reconstruction and urban regeneration.
