Jardin Secret de la Fée Verte

Beschreibung

This garden is just a few metres from the historic buildings of the Paul Devoille distillery. It features all the plants used to make absinthe (wormwood, fennel, angelica, coriander, lemon balm, veronica, etc.), as well as a collection of wormwood.
An old chalot (a small rural building typical of the region) has been rebuilt here to dry the wormwood plants harvested in summer. Panels on the walls explain the creation of this garden, the chalot, the wormwood... An insect hotel has been built to combat undesirable insects (aphids).
Panels planted in each bed give visitors information on each plant presented: characteristics, virtues, use in cooking, use in absinthe, height, type of soil, etc.

Free to visit.
