About the location

Jardins Salomon

Place Greffülhe 77810 Thomery

Île-de-France

These gardens were named after one of Thomery’s largest grape growers in the 19th century: Salomon et fils. They are now home to greenhouses, in line with those Étienne Salomon had built. These greenhouses were not the usual mode of production. You had to be a large operation to be able to own them. For Salomon, it was a question of forcing nature, so they were first forcing greenhouses (i.e. heated greenhouses allowing to produce table grapes out of season). After the abandonment of forced cultivation, experimental greenhouses for delicate varieties. It is not possible to have two harvests produced in the vineyard during the year.
