Les Jardins Agapanthe Canal at Château de Courances

Explore with their owners inspirational gardens around Provence, Normandy, Paris – Ile de France and Brittany.

We have found for you some of the most remarkable gardens created today in northern France and in Provence, our new tour for 2013.

Private garden in Normandy
  Jardin Plume and surrounding fields  

The climate in northern France is similar to that in England and the same range of plants is used, yet the gardens created are quite different – reflecting French culture and history.

The gardens chosen for the Provence spring tour are those created by leading garden designers around Avignon and St Remy de Provence. The backdrop of Les Alpilles enhances the ingenious layout of the gardens with wisteria, judas trees and iris in flower.

Many of these gardens can only be visited with French Gardens Today.  They open only for us because their owners know that you who travel with us are interested and appreciative.
