The Rocher des Doms and its English-style garden rise 30 metres above the Rhône and were the birthplace of the city.
Good to know:
The City is carrying out major renovation work on the garden. During this period, you can only access the viewing point and enjoy the panoramic views. The garden will gradually reopen between now and the end of the works in June 2027.

Advice from an Avignon resident
A pop-up spot to enjoy until spring 2026!
Opened in June 2025, the Musée des Bains Pommer is a unique venue in Avignon. Formerly a public bathhouse in operation from 1891 to 1972, this site – listed as a historic monument since 1992 – tells the story of nearly a century of hygiene, daily practices and life in Avignon. As the City of Avignon’s sixth heritage site, it offers an unusual tour of a place previously little known to the public.
