In the 19th century, major works were undertaken to turn the park into a veritable park: trees and lawns from the former Jardin des Plantes were planted, water reservoirs were installed, a pond was created and statues of famous people adorned the path (Jean Althen, Félix Gras, "Vénus aux Hirondelles" by Félix Chapentier, etc.).
A large esplanade with an orientation table offers beautiful views of Mont Ventoux and the Rhône valley.
Pets are not allowed.
At the foot of the Rocher, on the Rhône side, a free river shuttle takes you across the river to the Barthelasse island, a verdant setting for a stroll.
