The Garden of Eden is the former park of the Cordeliers monastery and the Notre Dame convent.

It is a magical, authentic and historic place, full of basin, ponds and trees of various species :

an island of coolness and greenery in the heart of the city.

The Garden has managed to keep the charm of former days. Covering a one hectare area, it is surrounded by old ramparts and of its tower rebirth, narrow footpaths and a stream having its source at the top of the hill. One can still find remains of old dwellings and small bridges. Steps will lead you to the panoramic viewpoint through shaded areas. A quiet and soothing atmosphere radiates from this preserved haven of peace.

The Garden of Eden offers a wonderful view over the Rhône and the twin towns of Tournon and Tain l’Hermitage; on the river banks facing the garden, you will admire the famous vineyards, remarkable for their terrace cultivation.
