Sobre

Fatos rápidos: Madame Elisabeth, neta de Luís XV, cultivava sua própria horta e pomar nesses 9 hectares em vez de viver uma vida puramente aristocrática. A propriedade ainda cultiva mais de 40 variedades de maçãs e peras tradicionais, algumas datando do século XVIII.

Destaques: Todo outono, as antigas esparradeiras de peras da propriedade se curvam sob o peso de variedades como 'Beurré Hardy' e 'Doyenné du Comice', perfumando o ar com um aroma doce de mel que você pode seguir de olhos vendados. Os jardineiros ainda usam técnicas de poda do século XVIII transmitidas por gerações, tornando este um museu vivo da história hortícola francesa.

Dicas de quem conhece

  • Pack a picnic to eat on the grassy parterre facing the farmhouse, a spot most tourists walk right past.
  • Bring binoculars for spotting red squirrels that dart between the hornbeam hedges, especially active during September nut harvesting.
  • The potager (vegetable garden) is easiest accessed via the eastern gate on Rue Champ Lagarde instead of the main entrance.
  • Rainy days are actually ideal as the wet gravel paths are near empty and the damp air amplifies the scent of fallen apples.
