Ile Piot, Riverside locality in Avignon, France
Île Piot is a riverside locality along the Rhône in Avignon with open terrain sloping toward the water. The area features gravel grounds and paved pathways that reach directly to the river's edge.
The site was formerly a military domain and retains structural elements from that period. Concrete pathways and old entry points remain visible, bearing witness to its past function.
The island provides photography opportunities of Avignon's landmarks, including Notre-Dame des Doms cathedral and the medieval city walls.
A large parking facility with 650 spaces connects the site to central Avignon via a free shuttle service. The connection runs regularly and makes the location easy to reach from the city center.
The ground displays scattered seashells and hardy small plants resembling the flat plains landscape of the nearby Crau region. This flora creates an impression of open natural terrain distinct from the surrounding urban area.
