A wonderful hillside place for strolling and exploration, this garden offers a remarkable view on the mouth of the Var River and a vast panorama from the Alps to the Esterel Massif.

This 3 ha garden features 3,000 varieties essentially Mediterranean plants. Certain tropical species are constantly in bloom. What makes its originality lies in the reconstruction of typical Mediterranean landscapes. National collections of sage and agave approved by the Conservatoire des Collections Végétales Spécialisées (Conservatory of specialised plant collections). Officially recognised by the Botanical Gardens of France and Francophone Countries, it was recently granted the ‘Remarkable Garden’ label.
