Set on top of a small hill, the urban park Le Rocher des Doms offers cool retreat with its gardens, shady trees, and fantastic vantage point of Avignon including views of Mont Ventoux and the Saint-Andre Fort. Established in 1830, the park is accessible via two sets of steps one near the Notre Dame des Doms and the other near the banks of the Rhône River. Along with an esplanade, there is a tranquil fountain with ducks and swans, and art by Félix Charpentier. During the summer, the seasonal cafe opens up and serves salads, sandwiches, and other light bites. Other highlights include two playgrounds, sculptures of notable Avignon figures and an analemmatic solar calendar and events such as the Band des Vendanges wine festival.
