Les Vieux Chais
Gardens
There are four separate areas to the gardens, three of which are available to guests.
Riverside Gardens
Riverside Gardens - This lawned area stretches down to the riverside and is interspersed
with magnificent plane trees which reach a height of some 45 metres. A new driveway
has been laid leading to the private walled garden for la Grande Maison in the East
Wing. There are two working moorings on the riverbank so if you are arriving by boat you
can tie up with ease.
Courtyard Gardens
The main courtyard is approximately 1,500m2 (16,100 sq. ft.). In addition to a number
of existing mature shrubs and trees including yew and hazelnut, some fruit trees,
shrubs, plants and bulbs have been planted mainly in the raised beds and surrounding
area.
The raised beds are constructed with old railway sleepers through which are 4 archways
constructed for access to the dining, bbq and seating areas set on two newly paved
patios. The central gravelled walk/drive is lined with almost 80 lavender and leads up to
a small parterre consisting mainly of roses and buxus.
