    Temple Saint-Martial:
    In 1373, Saint-Martial was founded by Cardinal Pierre de Cros, Archbishop of Arles, as a Benedictine priory with a college for twelve novices. The church was built between 1383 and 1402 in the Gothic flamboyant style and later expanded with a new baroque facade. The pen was dissolved in the course of the French Revolution. Saint-Martial has served Reformed worship since 1881.

    Square Agricol Perdiguier:
    In the Middle Ages, the garden and cloister of the Benedictine abbey, later the Saint Martial church, was located here. After the French Revolution, the garden was closed and opened at the beginning of the 19th century. under the initiative of the botanist, book lover and city councilor Esprit Requien expanded into a botanical garden. After his death, the Cours Jean Jaurès square was laid out in the mid-19th century and the garden was reduced in size by half. A public green area was created.
    In 1990/91 three landscape architects created it again: Sébastien Giorgis, Patrice Pierron and Jean-Louis Knidel. Mediterranean plants and ruins of the Gothic monastery are accentuated by water systems and flower beds, while large trees provide cool shade when visitors sit on the benches. In Square Agricol Perdiguier, also known as 'Le Petit Jardin', there is also a playground for toddlers. Agricol Perdiguier was a carpenter and local politician, and his statue is in the garden. A bar open in the high and low season offers light meals, drinks and ice cream that can be enjoyed in the sun.

      The Saint-Martial temple in Avignon is worth a visit as well as the ruins of the Saint-Martial cloister on the nearby Place Agricol Perdiguier.

        In the 19C, the Saint Martial College and Abbey were converted into a natural history museum and small botanical garden. Here we also find ruins of a small temple, a gem in the historical city.
