The Patio - A Historic Haven of Peace in the Heart of Avignon

An architectural jewel of Le Cloître des Augustins, our patio represents the soul of this exceptional establishment. This preserved outdoor space offers you an immersion in Avignon's history while enjoying unparalleled contemporary comfort.

The Architectural Heritage of the Augustins

Dating back to 1261, the patio retains the architectural essence of the original cloister. The carved stone arcades, thick walls with exposed stones, and harmonious proportions testify to the craftsmanship of medieval builders. During our meticulous restoration, each historical element was preserved and enhanced to offer you an authentic journey through time.

An Exceptional Mediterranean Garden

At the center of the patio, our Mediterranean garden was designed as an echo to the history of monastic gardens. Typically Provençal species – lavender, rosemary, century-old olive trees – blend with ornamental plants carefully selected for their beauty and adaptation to Avignon's climate. This garden evolves with the seasons, offering a different face with each visit.

A Privileged Living Space

More than just a passageway, the patio constitutes a true living space at the heart of our establishment. Depending on the season:

• In spring and summer, enjoy this cool haven to savor your breakfast or taste a glass of local wine
• In autumn, admire the changing colors of the vegetation under the golden Provençal light
• In winter, contemplate the secular architecture enhanced by carefully designed lighting that highlights every detail

A Setting for Special Moments

The patio can also become, upon request, the setting for privileged moments:

• Intimate celebrations
• Private cocktails
• Photo sessions
• Meditation and yoga sessions

Our team will be delighted to organize these tailor-made events, with respect for this historically rich place.

The Dialogue Between Past and Present

The carefully selected contemporary furniture harmoniously dialogues with the medieval architecture, creating a timeless space where modern comfort and historical heritage perfectly coexist. This fusion is illustrated particularly in our lighting system, designed to enhance the patio's architecture at nightfall.

During your stay at Le Cloître des Augustins or La Maison des Augustins, the patio will quickly become your favorite place to recharge and immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere of this exceptional venue in the heart of Avignon.
