La colline des Mourgues
VILLENEUVE-LEZ-AVIGNON , Gard – Natural heritage
About
7-hectare park in the heart of the historical centre. A lovely place to walk and stroll, for all ages. The hill has many places to sit and rest, a playground, and an outdoor theatre. Gorgeous views over Villeneuve lez Avignon and Avignon.
This park was once religious property and still has some vestiges of the Petite Chartreuse, a hermitage where Father Crouzet-Lacombe, the last Carthusian father in Villeneuve after the Reévolution, took refuge. You can see the tomb that he prepared in the rock. The chapel, Notre-Dame de Consolation, is at the very top of the park, and was painted with frescoes by Albert Martin, that illustrate the traditional Saint-Marc celebration, related to wine and vineyards.
Enter by the street R Montée de la Tour (the Paul de La Boulaye gate) and the street Rue Montolivet (by the school).
