Passionate about garden architecture, Marie-Anne Morant designed hers by accentuating the differences in level and playing with perspective and colors. As you walk through the garden, you discover nooks and crannies that set different moods. The garden is conductive to daydreaming with the landscape open to the countryside, but is particularly intended for children where games of water, ball, snowshoes, pirates, hide-and-seek ... delight both young and old.
No particular plant in this garden, but such creativity!

A 3000 sq. meters garden, inspired by Francis Picadia’s philosophy which says that « nature takes care of everything, let it have its way, and it does well whatever it does.. » Starting from a classical and civilized garden, gatecrashed by cactuses, agaves, yukas, banana trees, we go past the house and enter an ever-wilder area in which lawns become simple paths, allowing free entrance to wild seeds sometimes coming from far away. We are now entering the world of bamboos and grasses living in total freedom, where the grand-children’s huts have become creation spots using the relics of jumble sales but can also serve as meditation refuges.
