Château de Gourdon
Saracen stronghold IX, appears to touch the sky. Terraces built on the overhang of empty structures exceptional. As you walk, you will discover the charm and finesse of a garden emerald tamed, which ends with the prospect an extraordinary panorama, where sea and mountain unite.
The garden combines the influence of classical French Italian romanticism. Shaded by large lindens centuries, the Terrace of Honor deploys his reasons for boxwood carved in the shape of horseshoes. The harmonious composition of XVIIè be due to the creator of the Gardens of Versailles and Vaux-le-Vicomte, André Le Nôtre.
On the south facade, a medieval garden said the apothecary garden, designed by landscape Tobie Loup de Viane, in 1972, is entirely dedicated to healing herbs and plants. Planted boxwood pruned, the Italian Garden, while shades of green, evokes the spirit of the gardens of the Renaissance.
Finally, you will discover at the foot of the walls of a garden rockeries. Close to Grasse and the Alps, where the scrub is still a land of rich flavors of Mediterranean plants.
While the whole area where nature, architecture and art are intimately linked invites you to take a fabulous journey through time. The Castle of Gourdon is home to a historical museum and a Museum of Decorative Arts and Modern Art.
