The Roches des Doms made a great and relaxing follow up to the visit to the Palais des Papes. The climb up is easy and the views are stunning. There is a beautiful grotto type rock face and pool,...

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...

A must visit.

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...

Gardens with it all (including a pressed penny machine)

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...

We walked the park several times. We were in Avignon in late April, so many of the flowering trees and shrubs were in bloom. Lots of places to stop, sit and enjoy the view.

Windy, but lovely views

It's a pretty park high above the Rhone, work the switchback walk. Views of the broken bridge and the fort across the river that the Protestant Kingdom of France erected against the Papal city of...

Wonderful, shaded space beside the papal palace. Great if traveling with children. Very restful. Wonderful views over the city and the Rhone river.

A spot of green within the stone walls

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...

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...
