île de la Barthelasse

Île de la Barthelasse is the largest river island in France, located on the Rhone between Avignon and Villeneuve-les-Avignon. This picturesque corner offers excellent conditions for active recreation - the network of roads and paths is ideal for walking, running or cycling.

The island has a rich history - it was the resting place of the medieval popes of Avignon. Today, more than half of its 700-hectare area is occupied by vineyards, vegetable gardens and orchards.

You can also enjoy water sports here, such as kayaking or jet skiing, or simply enjoy the tranquility and beautiful views of the city.
