don't miss...

Notice as well the spellbinding perfume of ancient roses, as you also admire collections of peonies, lavenders, lilies, and various shrubs. Inspired by the Middle-Ages and the Renaissance period, but also by the poets love for flowers, the gardens of the Prieuré Saint Cosme are a contemporary creation that associates the profane and the sacred.

The prieuré
Saint-Cosme,

Pierre Ronsard's residence

As Pierre de Ronsard lived at the Prieuré Saint Cosme for 20 years, the place and the garden are entirely dedicated to the poet.

To illustrate his most famous poem « Mignonne allons voir si…» the rose has become an emblem for the place. Two hundred species blend in with a collection of iris. Among the nine gardens that make up the Prieuré Saint Cosme , you will find one underlined by box, embellished with a basin.
