A vegetable garden, but not only…
All (or almost all) vegetables are represented, especially old or forgotten varieties. You’ll also find regional specialties such as the Saint-Valéry carrot or the Elbeuf leek.
The well-aligned rows of vegetables are reminiscent of French gardens*. But you can also see flowerbeds that look more like a jumble of many, many plants. We call them “mix-borders”. A mix of roses, peonies and campanulas attracts pollinating insects* and forms a veritable bouquet to adorn the château.
Orange-pink brick walls protect the plantings from the sea winds. They also keep in the heat. Along these walls, fruit trees and climbing plantsline up in shimmering colors.
