Overlooking the banks of the Loire and facing due south, this garden gives the impression of a journey through space and time by transporting us to the south. The famous mildness of Anjou has allowed Mediterranean plants and trees to adapt perfectly to the local environment. But after all, this only anticipates the current warming by a few years or decades. To be seen without doubt under a beautiful sun to benefit from the illusion. Free and open access.

Very beautiful place but avoid spending a Sunday there in good weather because there are a lot of walkers.
