- The Papal Garden and the Palace Garden are among the 3 papal gardens designed in the 14th century. Victims of the vicissitudes of history, they have undergone an ambitious restoration program.
Evoking the site's rich history, the project has restored the essential elements of the medieval period. Rewarded with several awards (including the Victoires du Paysage in 2022 and the label Jardin Remarquable in 2023), this work reveals to visitors a hitherto unknown part of the Palais des papes. It sheds light on what these pleasure gardens once were, combining their educational value with all the advantages of a place to relax in the heart of the city.
