Alloying the useful with the pleasant, the garden represented to Middle Ages a real haven of peace. It is what suggests you rediscovering the public garden of medieval inspiration of the abbey of Bonnefont on 740 m2\. Place of meditation so was very fond by the cisterciens monks at their time(weather), plants are again learnedly ordered there and associated. With its fountain and its cultures on plessis, this garden presents a sample of the different existent spaces in a monastery to the Middle Ages: the hortus and its edible, the herbularius and its curative, but also the ornamental and utilities (about 120 old(former) plants).
