Avignon - Rocher des Doms

The Rocher des Doms is a rocky spur which rises to the north of the Papal Palace in Avignon and then falls steeply down to the Rhône. There is a fine panoramic view from the beautiful park on its summit of the famous Pont St Bénézet and the islands of Barthelasse and Piot in the river, as well as Villeneuve-lès-Avignon on the far bank.
