- A contemporary Provencal garden blending classical heritage and Tuscan inspiration, the grounds of Château de Brantes exude a timeless grace.
Designed in 1960 by Danish landscape architect Mogens Tvede, the garden is criss-crossed by long ponds that structure the space. The verticality of the cypress trees, the geometry of the lawns and the clipped boxwood and laurel beds all contribute to the overall balance. It's in this beautiful setting, on the outskirts of the city of the popes, that one of Europe's largest magnolias imposes its majestic branches.
A place of residence and inspiration for artists, and a venue for meetings, events and conferences, this remarkable heritage offers an exceptional breeding ground for numerous projects involving nature, culture and education.
