Les Prés Park and Orchard

In this 16 acre family estate through which runs the River Yères and surrounded by salt meadows, innovation and diversity are the watchwords of its gardening philosophy. The early 20th century villa, its outbuildings, kitchen garden, orchards, light woodland, century-old trees and streams are all a pleasure to the eye. The symmetry of the hedges of trees and the curves of the flowerbeds combine to create a harmony of form, colour and scent. The visitor is surprised at every turn: suddenly lines of poplars and cider-apple trees appear, or drifts of hydrangeas, topiary, rippling grasses, the curving lines of boxwood hedging and rose and white dahlias… A visit that inspires peace and reverie.
