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.

Lively terraces to the rhythm of the city

Festive atmospheres, places where people come and go, they seduce with their energy and friendliness, like the terraces in the Place des Corps Saints: the Molière, the Pili, the 17 Place aux Vins, Savita, Ginette’s Epicerie and the Agape.

The ideal terraces for an evening of music

For a guinguette atmosphere, live music and a food truck: Le Kabarouf, and Le Confidentiel for a lounge atmosphere and musical cocktails.
