Born of detailed research into the history and iconography of the Middle Ages, this garden is the work of Lily, Lulu, Françoise, Solange and other enthusiastic volunteers from the association Art and Traditions. Enclosed by walls, just as it should be, and entered through a gate which you open with a little shiver of pleasurable anticipation, the Garden of the Senses is an intimate garden, a garden of love which takes you back to the time when fine ladies went to listen to the troubadours' songs beside fountains beneath shady walks.

Shaded by some fruit trees, the garden is divided with neat simplicity into plots used for specific purposes: here, beds of flowers for decorating the church, there, plots reserved for the "simples" or medicinal plants used as remedies; further on, there are dye plants such as saffron or anthemis, and, of course, the aromatic herbs (mint, oregano, tarragon, etc.). There are also many much less common plants, such as lovage, the violet carrot, mandrake, nigella, pimpernel, old varieties of marrow and other unusual items which bring a whole chapter of our gardening history back to life.
