The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Présence de deux communautés juives à Bordeaux, l'une originaire du Portugal, l'autre du Comtat Venaissin. En 1764, la communauté israélite de Bordeaux acheta un petit vignoble qui devint le cimetière des juifs dits Avignonnais. Le cimetière est constitué d'une parcelle de terrain rassemblant des sépultures du 18e siècle. Le mur de clôture subsiste sur les côtés sud et ouest. La partie nord du terrain est recouverte d'une dalle en ciment sur laquelle s'élevaient des bâtiments. Les sépultures visibles sont groupées dans la partie sud et comportent des pierres tombales de la fin du 18e siècle. Le cimetière a été profané, des pierres tombales ayant été renversées ou brisées.

Presence of two Jewish communities in Bordeaux, one originating from Portugal, the other from Comtat Venaissin. In 1764, the Jewish community of Bordeaux purchased a small vineyard which became the cemetery of the Jews called Avignonnais. The cemetery consists of a plot of land gathering burials from the 18th century. The boundary wall survives on the south and west sides. The northern part of the land is covered with a cement slab upon which buildings once stood. The visible burials are grouped in the southern part and include tombstones from the late 18th century. The cemetery was desecrated, with tombstones being overturned or broken.
