La Mirande, Café Roma, Le Bercail... Avignon's top 10 terraces

Spotlights not to be missed

Facing the majestic Palais des Papes, in the grounds of a private mansion or on a barge with a breathtaking view of 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, and the terrace of Grand Café Barretta on Place Saint-Didier, in the shade of the hundred-year-old hackberry tree.


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

For a timeless interlude, immersed in greenery or with a view over the Rhône: Le Vinotage for the unusual on a barge, Le Bercail with one of the most beautiful views of the Pont d’Avignon, and La Treille with a country atmosphere in a garden planted with trees.


Quiet, confidential terraces in the heart of the city

For those looking for discreet city-centre venues that combine elegance and serenity: Le Violette in the heart of the Collection Lambert for its intimate and cultural feel, La Mirande a secret terrace in an exceptional private mansion, and Les Cocottes in a former Jesuit novitiate in Avignon, a soothing spot right in the city centre.
