This contemporary garden reflects Provencal vegetation: planted in a succession of terraces, mineral and plant elements are closely interwoven.
The first lines of the Jardins de la Louve were drawn by Nicole de Vesian, a stylist by trade. Seduced by the landscapes of the Luberon, she turned her art to dressing nature. With passion she has shaped the lines, tamed the forms, juxtaposed the colors. The gardens have retained the features of a personal work marked by the geometry of a mastered topiary art.

One day, Nicole de Vésian, a stylist with Hermès, discovered a ruined house in the heart of the Luberon, with dry-stone terraces that hugged the hillside. She decided to turn it into a personal work of art, composed exclusively of Mediterranean species (thyme, lavender, rosemary, rockrose and boxwood), which she arranged and cut to create harmonious curves. Vegetal curves emerge in various shades of green. Pebbles recovered from the Durance River punctuate the whole with their minerality.
Today, the creator of the Jardin de la Louve is no longer with us, but many landscapers still draw inspiration from her work. The current owners perpetuate her philosophy, and don't hesitate to open their doors in order to make this planted space known to as many people as possible.
