The current owners, Jessica and Boris, aim to keep this paradisical spot open to all. Come and stroll amid the soft colours and fragrances in the heart of the charming Marie’s Garden.
A romantic walk
500 varieties of delicately coloured roses, viburnums with bunches of flowers that stretch out in horizontal layers or form snowball-like clusters, agapanthus… Every season offers a panoply of different flowers. Here and there, benches nestled in the wooded groves allow you to sit and admire the flowerbeds. In Marie’s Garden, everything has been designed to offer a picturesque and peaceful setting, such as the pergolas crowned with beautifully fragrant flowers that adorn the paths.
A mouthwatering garden
