All summer long Michel Peltier shares his passion for his collection of plants from all over the world but mainly the southern hemisphere.  With more than 730 plants, and incredibly the name of each one on the tip of his tongue, it is a plant lovers’ paradise.

A new approach to this garden leads you straight to the young palm forest, where the visit used to start, crossing two small walled gardens After the rows of palm, the garden opens out to unveil its dazzling array of plants, the planting of which began in 2002.
