On the heights of the Citadelle estate, the garden has been laid out in terraces over 5 hectares. The view of the Luberon and the vineyards is superb. Equipped with walking shoes, you will discover no less than 400 species of plants during your walk.
A wide variety of plants – medicinal, aromatic, wild edible, and even magical – are set out in large wooden containers. Each terrace has its own theme: aromatic herbs in one, edible plants in another, medicinal plants in a third, and so on.
The panoramic view from this hilltop garden is well worth the detour! In front of you lies the village of Ménerbes, and a little further on the Monts de Vaucluse, overlooked by the majestic Mont Ventoux.
To extend your visit, check out the Musée du Tire-Bouchon (corkscrew museum).
Only accessible on foot. Wear closed shoes, a hat and bring a bottle of water in summer!
