THE GARDENS OF THE BISHOPRIC
The gardens of the Bishopric, perched on the belvedere overlooking the Agout, offer a remarkable view of the Saint-Roch bridge
Perched on the belvedere overlooking the Agout River, the gardens of the Bishopric offer a remarkable view of the Saint-Roch Bridge, a monumental stone structure built between 1773 and 1791. During the Revolution, the palace and its annexes were destroyed. This space, which became municipal property in 1852, was transformed into an English garden in 1857. It was named Jardin Las Cases in memory of Napoleon Bonaparte's confidant on St. Helena (installation of a statue in 1865). It was later renamed Jardins de l'Évêché. A playground welcomes children.
