Avignon's top terraces

Spotlights not to be missed

Facing the majestic Palais des Papes, in a private mansion or on a barge with a breathtaking view over the Pont Saint Bénezet, let yourself be surprised and seduced for a drink on one of the most beautiful terraces in the city of the Popes.

Terraces in the most beautiful squares in the historic centre

Avignon has a wealth of emblematic squares, both lively and steeped in history, ideal for enjoying a meal on a terrace right in the heart of the city, with no cars around: l’Épicerie, on Place Saint-Pierre with its church and cobbled forecourt, those with a view of the Palais des Papes, such as Carré du Palais or Le Moutardier, the terrace of Grand Café Barretta on Place Saint-Didier in the shade of the hundred-year-old hackberry tree, and Table Hot.


Terraces in the heart of nature, just a few minutes from the centre

For a timeless break, immersed in greenery or with a view over the Rhône: Le Vinotage for the unusual on a barge, Le Bercail with one of the best views over the Pont d’Avignon.


Quiet, confidential terraces in the heart of the city

For those looking for a discreet place in the city centre that combines elegance and serenity, the Italian restaurant Là-Bas-Ré is set in an old building steeped in history: the Collection Lambert’s Cour Caumont, La Mirande, whose terrace and garden offer a breathtaking view of the walls of the Palais des Papes, Café Roma and its terrace overlooking the rear of the Palais des Papes at the foot of the ice-house tower, and finally the terrace of Les Cocottes Saint Louis located in a former Jesuit novitiate in Avignon, a soothing spot right in the centre of town.


Lively terraces to the rhythm of the city

Festive atmospheres, places where people come and go, they seduce with their energy and conviviality, like the terraces in the Place des Corps Saints: Pili, Agape, Epicerie de Ginette, Savita, Crok N cook, Le Petit Grand, 17 place aux vins, Agape.
