Gardens of the Abbey of Saint André, Villeneuve lez Avignon

Awarded the "Remarkable Garden" label in 2014, the abbey's gardens unfold between the remains of Romanesque churches and 6th-century tombs: Mediterranean plants, olive trees and century-old pines.... In the 2 hectares of gardens, it's rare to discover so many remarkable species (111 listed) and historical relics. A succession of atmospheres to explore: Tuscan, Provençal, romantic, mineral... along a walk where it's good to recharge your batteries. On the heights of Mont Andaon, these balcony gardens offer a panoramic view of Avignon's Popes'Palace.
