How to visit

Since last year, a new area of this site is home to a vegetable garden. Here, visitors may discover, through a visit to its various sections, the evolution of gardens, from the Middle Ages to the present day, as well as learning about the fifty or so sometimes rare species that grow here, such as Catjang or the Common Ice Plant. In addition to the exhibition, visitors can enjoy strolling along the edges of the pond, and the enclosed natural spaces, offering the ideal spot for a moment’s rest and contemplation.  The garden is also a garden of scents and flavours: a guided visit allows the public to taste some of the plants!
