Description :

The Potager des Princes invites you on an unforgettable stroll through its terraced garden, where you can admire a mosaic of medicinal and culinary herbs. More than 40 carefully arranged plant beds decorate the lower part of the second terrace.

The tour also takes you to the Tenaille Basin , with its romantic bridges and grottoes , transformed into a fantastical garden home to gunneras, catalpas, giant ferns, and banana trees. There you will also discover the waterfall , the trellis , and a magnificent bed of daffodils , particularly showcased during the Daffodil Festival , which takes place every year in late March/early April.

End your visit by relaxing under the pergola , offering a soothing view of this exceptional garden, where nature and history meet harmoniously.
