The Jardin du Rocher des Doms is a beautiful English-style garden at the top of the Rocher des Doms high above the Rhone. The park was opened to the public in the 19th century and was earlier a site that was popular among the locals for strolling and taking outdoor walks. There is a lot to do and see at the Jardin du Rocher des Doms.

 

Walk among the beautifully manicured gardens at the Jardin du Rocher des Doms. Just sit by the lovely pond and watch the swans and ducks glide by and admire the statue of Venus with Swallows. There are also koi carp in the pond. Visit the Côtes du Rhône vineyard inside the Jardin du Rocher des Doms; this is the only vineyard inside a city in all of France. Take in some fantastic views of the landscape around: Mont Ventoux, Île de la Barthelasse, Villeneuve-lez-Avignon, and also Pont St-Bénézet. Walk down from the vineyard and get to one section of the ramparts of the old city. Check out the statues of famous people that dot the Jardin du Rocher des Doms. These include statues of Jean Althen and also Felix Gras, besides the quite popular Venus aux Hirondelles. There is also a sundial to view at the Jardin du Rocher des Doms. Get your kids to go pedaling on the pony cards available at the garden; there is also some fabulous ice cream to be had. Step into the lovely Buvette Café for some snacks and wine.
