Private garden with "Jardin Remarquable" label.

Acquired in 1857 by the Baron de Prailly, later by the writer Paul Bourget, the Plantier property was for a long time frequented by the artistic and intellectual circles of Hyères. The richness of the plant collections surrounding the neo-Palladian villa, both a place of remembrance and a botanical garden, continue to attract visitors.

Built in 1857 by the Baroness de Prailly, this neo-Palladian mansion is nestled in the middle of a luxuriant park classified as a "remarkable garden". Plants from all over the world, including a large number of palms, were planted and acclimatized to the mild Hyères climate. In 1892, Queen Victoria stayed here for 3 months. Then, in 1896, writer Paul Bourget bought the property and moved in. Famous friends such as André Gide and Joseph Conrad visited him and were dazzled by this green setting. Today, the park and the house bear witness to this prestigious past. With passion, the current owner guides visitors through the maze of the garden and among the illustrious memories of this beautiful residence.
