We went up straight from the river and it was an enduring walk up there, though we wouldn't have missed it for the world. The view is very nice and relaxing. The park has a small playing area, a nice lake with a beautiful statue and some kind of a cave-like waterfall with ducks and a single turtle. There's also... More

It's just a simple garden behind the Popes' Palace but well worth the climb up the hill for the view over the Rhone. There is also a very good little cafe up there where we had a great crepe Grand Marnier.

This is a great outdoor space and should not be missed. It is the highest point in the city and can be accessed from near the Notre Dame Cathedral or a couple of places near the City Walls. There are panoramic views from many places in the Park, including unexpectedly from the top of the central Water Feature (see Photo).... More

The only true green park within the walls of arid Avignon, the Rocher des Doms offers an escape from the heat in the summer and a clear view toward distant sights in Provence and Languedoc during the mistral-swept winter and spring.

It's always nice to break up a day of town walking with a bit of greenery. The entrance to the gardens is past the Papal Palace and Notre-Dame-des-Doms, so you get a chance to see the outside of the buildngs on your way in. Unfortunately, as you cross the courtyard in front of the Papal Palace you will also run... More
