It was founded in 1303 to compete with the Sorbonne in Paris , which had been founded 50 years earlier . It experienced its heyday during the Avignon papacy , in the 14th and early 15th centuries. In 1793, like all other universities in France, it was dissolved in the course of the French Revolution .
