The Potager-Verger du Château de la Roche Guyon is a French-style vegetable and fruit garden that is open to the public and allows you to stroll through this wonderful place. The garden faces the Château de la Roche-Guyon, a medieval castle built on a limestone cliff overlooking the Seine. The garden was created in the 17th century by Madeleine Le Tellier de Louvois, wife of François VIII de La Rochefoucauld, first Duke of La Roche-Guyon. The garden has 675 fruit trees, including pear, apple, peach and plum trees, as well as vegetables and aromatic plants. The garden was restored in 2004, after being abandoned for nearly a century. It has received the Remarkable Garden label from the Ministry of Culture.
