Description :

You will find in the "Rose" and "Blue" Gardens flowers and greenery, but in fact their originality is their decoration of mosaics, made out of molten glasses of Italy, of enamels of Braire, stoneware, and various other materials. After having been dreamed for several decades, these mosaics started to be carried out at the beginning of the Eighties. At the end of 20 years of assiduous work, the site is now registered in the National heritage of the 20th century.
It is necessary to count at least half an hour of visit, but one can remain as a long as he wishes and even envisages a picnic in the garden (you must bring the necessary supplying).
