Presentation
The property is an important part of the Côte d'Azur's historical, architectural and plant heritage.
Historically, prominent personalities have been linked to the plantier, as well as their prestigious entourage of wealthy winter guests, who came to enjoy the setting of this magnificent acclimatization garden. Queen Victoria stayed here for 5 weeks in 1892, during her stay in Hyères. Paul Bourget, a renowned writer, made it his home from 1896 onwards, and hosted a number of writers including Edith Wharton, Joseph Conrad, André Gide and Henry Bordeaux.
The park, designated a "remarkable garden", is planted with extraordinary exotic species imported from all over the world (Chilean Jubeas. Arbutus trees from Cyprus. Ravénéas Rivularis, and many more...)
Today, the passionate owners have taken great care to maintain the historic Palladian mansion and its adjoining neo-Gothic chapel as they should, and offer a personal tour of approximately 1 hour to visitors who wish to make a reservation (for a fee).
