Domain description:
The estate boasts several magnificent gardens that awaken all the senses. The gourmet kitchen garden , located in front of the Tithe Barn, is a place of profusion of color, with annual plants like cleomes bringing an explosion of hues to the heart of the garden. The vegetable collections , such as cabbages, tomatoes, squashes, and other cucurbits, blend harmoniously with vibrant flowers like sunflowers, cosmos, and cleomes.
The orchard terrace offers a spectacular view of the Romanesque abbey church and its arches covered in roses and wisteria. The fruit trees, some of them exotic, add a touch of sweetness to this unique panorama.
Near the monks' fishpond , the bed of fragrant rhododendrons and the majestic Revolution Linden create a cool and shady space, ideal for a quiet stroll under the natural arches.
The Domaine de l'Abbaye de Thiron-Gardais is a true haven of peace where every corner invites discovery and wonder.
