Free visit of the Gardens of the Cure

Remarkable site, both by its position on the hillside of Sèvre Nantaise and by its exceptional architecture_. Sheltered from the life of the village but 2 steps from the historic center, facing south towards the Sèvre Nantaise, the Gardens of the Cure offer beautiful panoramas on the valley and the river._
The Gardens of the Cure are built in terraces against the old fortifications of the city. We discover an architectural trend called clissonnaise, an alternation of brick and granite inspired by the Tuscan gardens and imported into the region.
The Gardens of the Cure are divided into several spaces: the vegetable garden, the terrace lookout, the large terrace, the orchard and the hillside. The water circuit is an important element of gardens. Present on all terraces, it flows naturally, from one to the other. Existing springs and a rainwater recovery system feed the ponds, fountains and the seguia that runs along the large terrace.
