Escaliers Sainte-Anne, Stone stairway in historic center, Avignon, France.
The Sainte-Anne stairs connect the Jardin des Doms to the eastern section of Avignon through multiple stone steps and landings.
The stairs underwent complete reconstruction by architect Peru, reaching completion in April 1767, with archaeological findings including bronze medals from Emperor Nero's time.
A permanent dance venue called L'Atelier operates at number 4, hosting performances and serving as a creative space for physical expression throughout the year.
The stairs function as a direct passage between residential areas and provide access to several cultural venues, including the Hivernales festival offices.
Bronze antiquities emerged during excavations of the upper levels near the Hermitage, revealing traces of Roman presence in this section of Avignon.
