Rocher des Doms Gardens<br />

A short walk from the cathedral you’ll find<br />

the Rocher des Doms park. From its peak you<br />

have panoramic views of the Rhone river. It’s<br />

a beautiful park, centred around a pond which<br />

is home to swans and other waterfowl, and<br />

offers a green refuge from the summer heat to<br />

tourists and locals alike.<br />

Clos de la Vigne<br />

Within the Rocher des Doms park the Clos de<br />

la Vigne is the only AOC intramural vineyard<br />

in France on a UNESCO World Heritage site.<br />

The small parcel of vines features 12 grape<br />

varieties for red and white wines. Grapes<br />

are harvested by hand, and in 2021 the first<br />

bottles of matured wine were auctioned<br />

for charity. The vineyard overlooks the river<br />

Rhone and the famous Saint-Bénézet bridge,<br />

the town’s emblem and yet another UNESCO<br />

listed monument in Avignon…<br />
