  • Ils s'engagent
    Entrusted to the Museum national d'Histoire Naturelle in 1967, the Val Rahmeh garden is one of the Riviera's sumptuous botanical gardens.
    The former estate of Lord Percy Radcliffe, dedicated to his wife Rahmeh Theodora Swinburne, has benefited from the microclimate of Menton since its creation. Modified and enriched over time, it extends over terraced plots arranged in different biogeographical zones.
    The exuberant beauty of the remarkable vegetation on this heritage site is a constant source of discovery, knowledge and wonder. The elegance of its pergola, the terrace and its panorama, the grace of its water lilies, the abundance of rare and unusual plants, make this garden a living spectacle imbued with exoticism and poetry.
