Doms Garden

A 2nd phase of work will then take place from September 2026 to June 2027, with a partial closure.

This English-style garden, set on the rock overlooking the Palais des Papes, rises 30m above the Rhône and offers a magnificent panoramic view of the old town, monuments and landscapes from the Rhône plain to Mont Ventoux.

It was the cradle of the town: archaeological studies attest to human occupation as far back as the Neolithic period. The remains of this ancient presence can now be admired at the Calvet Museum.
In the 19th century, major works were carried out to turn it into a 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.
