Square Agricol Perdiguier, Public square and urban park in central Avignon, France.
Square Agricol Perdiguier is a public square in central Avignon featuring the remains of a Gothic cloister. The grounds combine Mediterranean plants, water features, flowerbeds, and large trees that provide natural shade.
The site was originally a Benedictine Abbey garden during medieval times. It was transformed into a botanical garden in the early 1800s under botanist Esprit Requien.
The square honors carpenter and politician Agricol Perdiguier through a statue placed in the grounds. It functions as a gathering place where locals spend time among the plants and shaded areas.
The square opens daily at 7:30 AM with a children's playground, outdoor dining, and public restrooms available. Parking facilities nearby make the location easy to access.
Local residents affectionately call this space 'Le Petit Jardin', where medieval architectural remains blend with contemporary landscaping. This combination creates a quiet retreat in the middle of the city where past and present coexist.
