Discover a permaculture garden: biodiversity and sustainability! - A vegetable garden grown on hillocks with bearings to regulate the water cycle. - An area inspired by medieval gardens, home to a variety of aromatic and medicinal plants. - An orchard under development, including local species as well as more exotic varieties adapted to climate change. - Finally, a future syntropic hedge that will also serve as a feeder area, as well as a pond in the making, creating habitat for biodiversity. Note that the entire garden will have just one year during the 2023 European Heritage Days.

About the location

Maison Espalanusse

The Espalanusse house is an authentic Béarnais enclosure first inventoried in 1385 by the monks of the neighbouring abbey on behalf of the lord of the time, the famous Gaston Phoebus, prince of the Pyrenees. Maison Espalanusse is one of 240 stone houses inventoried at the time. The farm and its 10-hectare estate go through 30 years of abandonment until the acquisition of the latter by the Nanglard family who dreams of making it a place of exploration and experimentation. At home Espalanusse we talk, renovation of the old building with old techniques, of garden in permaculture, agroforestry, natural beekeeping and ethological, we will also talk about the «culture» of the water with lows or swell. We will talk about resilience, food self-sufficiency, respect for life and biodiversity.
