A break in the garden
Parks and gardens:
the countryside in the city!
Avignon, a medieval city on a human scale, also gives you the opportunity to get close to nature, in the parks and gardens open to all and on the paths of the city’s “green lung”, the Ile de la Barthelasse, the largest river island in Europe; a little corner of green paradise just a stone’s throw from the city walls.
