Fete de Jardin

We have an Annual Garden Festival that encompasses a large part of the town centre for a weekend in May; here is a group of images taken over the last few years.  

 

 

 

 

The communes gardeners always put on wonderful dispaly in the area by the Echevinage,  this is a building dating from the 15th century that is now used by the commune for conferences and seminars. It has a great pedigree as it was owned by the Plessis family the most famous of whome was Armand-Jean who was better know as Cardinal Richelieu.  

It has been used as not just a family home but also as a courthouse for over one hundred years......... 

A full series of images of this building will follow soon.

 

 

Here we have one of the local properties that opens its gates for the fete so we can view their wonderful garden, they are a testiment to the hard work that has obviously been put in by the owners.  

 

We have lots of stalls selling all manner of Garden related produce, many types of Herbs, Grasses, Roses etc. along with more unusual items such as this creation.
