Testifying to a history rooted in its Ardèche terroir, Le Jardin d'Eden has a heritage that is both cultural and natural and has survived through the ages to offer an invigorating link between past and present.
It is through a guided tour that we propose you to discover this historic place surrounded by the last ramparts of the city built in 1525 and one of the twelve towers that completed the fortifications of the Tournonais city.
