The plan of the Park

Welcome to the Medieval Park of the Dovecote for a stroll enchanted in Moyen-Age.

The Medieval garden of Eden is the alive illustration of the history of the gardens of Charlemagne in the XV-th century.
Formerly, in this meadow decorated with flowers in thousand purple flowers, primroses, poppies and marguerites, the gallants played croquet or in the failures(chess).

One danced under the summer-house, one liked itself under the Tree of May...

Please , relive the rich hours of the chatelaines and their riders of former days and taste in this closed garden, monuments of peace, relaxation and evasion...


Near the melodious fountain, among the lilies of the Madonna and the lily of Turkey, under arbours shaded in the climbing vineyards, among the camomile and the thym in small lawns and footpaths(banquettes) flooded with pink(roses), garden of Eden offers you one thousand flavor to get drunk on past and one thousand reasons... To return to it.

In the Living bestiary, please , go back up(raise) the time with the bears, the wolves, the lions, the birds of prey and the small game !

You circulate on foot in a park in the middle of the free bears... By thinking of the Lords of the Moyen-Age who had a bear tamed in their bedroom! You dance with wolves or rather, hunted(chased away) you in Moyen-Age, you see them putting their claws on the glass tunnel which you borrow(take).

Every day : visits of the castle and garden with dressed up guides, animal animations and initiation into the games of address and strategy of time: failures(chess), skittles of eight, ladies, hopscotches, top, croquet...
