Jardin de l'Évêché is a serene public garden adjacent to the cathedral, perched on a hillside overlooking the Vienne River. The garden is divided into two distinct areas: a formal French garden with symmetrical flowerbeds, trimmed hedges, and a central fountain, and a botanical garden featuring a diverse collection of plants from around the world. Visitors can stroll along gravel paths, relax on benches, and enjoy the stunning views of the river and the city below. The botanical section includes medicinal plants, aromatic herbs, and a small vineyard. It's a perfect spot for a quiet afternoon, a picnic, or a leisurely walk. The garden also hosts occasional outdoor events and concerts during summer.
