Panorama aperitif at Saint-Roman Abbey

Panoramic aperitif at the Abbaye de Saint Roman in Beaucaire (Gard) : an evening atop Europe's only troglodytic abbey ! Wine tasting and tapas under the setting sun.

Aperitifs on the roof of the world !

Imagine a mysterious, unusual and bewitching place, lost in the garrigue... the Abbey of Saint-Roman, the remains of a monastery dug right into the rock !

Long ago, hermits, then monks, built this troglodytic abbey to live far from the world. They dug into the rock with the tools at their disposal - a real tour de force !

Discover this place in exceptional conditions: after the last visitors have left, the abbey is yours ! You'll receive a pass for an intimate aperitif on the upper terrace. Discover this incredible abbey, then enjoy a sunset aperitif at the summit, where the 360-degree panorama of the Rhône valley and the Alpilles mountains is breathtaking !
