Categories : Lifestyle
As the days get longer and the mild Provençal climate sets in, Avignon reveals its most beautiful panoramas. To experience an unforgettable summer 2026, a rooftop experience is a must to admire the City of Popes from a new angle. Discover our two exceptional addresses to savor the city between sky and history.
The Hôtel Cloître Saint Louis : The charm of a historic rooftop
Just a few minutes' walk away, our partner establishment, the Hôtel Cloître Saint Louis, offers a complementary experience where the prestige of the past meets modern comfort. Perched at the top of this former 14th-century novitiate, the rooftop pool offers a unique view of Avignon's bell towers and glazed tile roofs. Its elevated terrace is a well-kept secret, ideal for those seeking a calm and authentic atmosphere above the urban hustle and bustle. After enjoying the sun on the roof, you can descend to the majestic cloister courtyard and then have dinner under the Gothic arcades at the restaurant "Les Cocottes Saint Louis".
The Avignon Grand Hôtel: A suspended oasis facing the ramparts
At the top of the Avignon Grand Hôtel, time seems to stand still. Our rooftop is an invitation to total disconnection in the heart of the city. Discover our pool facing history, indeed, imagine yourself plunging in after your day of discovery while contemplating the medieval ramparts that encircle the old town. Our terrace is designed for relaxation, offering a light-filled space ideal for savoring the Provence sun, an exclusive spot at the entrance to the city of the popes. You will find our comfortable lounge bar in the lobby as well as our rooftop welcoming you with pleasure offering a wide selection of drinks and snacks for a decompressing moment.
The Art of Living on the Terrace in Avignon
The city is full of gems where you can rise above to appreciate the Gothic architecture and glazed tile roofs. This summer 2026, the trend is towards conviviality and breathtaking views, such as the unmissable ones on the Palais des Papes where several establishments in the historic center offer perched terraces offering a spectacular face-to-face with the largest Gothic palace in Europe. Whether for a drink with friends or a romantic moment, Avignon's rooftops are adorned with their finest attire featuring creative cocktail menus and a soft musical ambiance.
