At feet of monuments, you will find a quiet and charming place: a rose garden covering 3,5 hectares.
In a bucolic atmosphere, you will learn about the story of this emblematic flower, its colors, shapes, scents, and its virtues.
You will know everything there is about old roses - Rosa Gallica, Rosa Damascena, Rosa Alba, Rosa Centifolia, hybrid tea roses - and modern roses which flower until autumn. You will start the visit by one of the town's strongest symbols. The "Rosa Gallica Officinalis", also called "Rose of Provins" has been brought back from crusades by Count Thibaud IV of Champagne. This ancestor of all our present-day varieties was formerly renowned for its medicinal properties.
