Visit of the vegetable garden
A real educational tool for its visitors.
The Potager de La Bourbansais aims to become a real educational tool for its visitors. Inspired by the “King’s Vegetable Garden” of Versailles. The La Bourbansais teams offer families, school groups and seniors, every day in season, guided tours based on the history of gardens, plants and ancient vegetables.
The “French” and “Carrousel” gardens recall the classicism of the large parks inspired by Le Nôtre. They extend to the south and west by two very beautiful listed perspectives of more than 800 meters long.
The statuary, proven to date from 1756, in good condition, represents characters from ancient mythology: God Pan, Sphinges, Puttis… as well as various fire pots and crops found on the roofs…
