Genuine nurseries of creativity, landscaped using ever more sophisticated techniques, they are reputed to be among the most unusual in the world. Our so-called "French-style" gardens are acclaimed for their magnificence, their personality and their history. Others stand out for their atypical character and originality. Inviting strollers to reflect, explore and - for some - take part in a variety of workshops, they reserve a colourful palette of surprises. Here is a selection of Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur's most remarkable gardens; we hope it will give you a new angle on the gifts Mother Nature has sown in our beautiful region.

Throughout the weekend, visitors will enjoy discovering the "Evocative Scents of the South of France" - the theme chosen to unveil this year's new rose varieties to the public - through a multitude of plants and perfumes, carefully selected and presented to flatter the eyes and the nose! The "Institut Jardiland" gardening institute will be opening the event with the official baptism of its latest creation: a summer rose streaked with yellow and fuchsia dedicated to the association Bucodes-Surdifrance, which assists the deaf and hard of hearing. The rose will be available for purchase for the first time at Alterarosa, then at Jardiland shops from autumn onwards. All profits from the sale will be donated to the association. In addition, Alterarosa will be setting up special facilities to help the deaf and hard of hearing take full advantage of this magnificent show. This year's 9th edition of this delightful meeting organised by the Ministry of Culture and Communication at France's most beautiful gardens, will be exploring the theme of "Les Jardins Nourriciers" (nursery gardens). The 2010 edition, on the theme of "The Gardener and his Tools", took place at an impressive 2,000 parks and gardens throughout France, prompted 400 open days and inaugurations, featured 5,000 satellite events and attracted 1.8 million visitors. “Rendez-Vous aux Jardins” offers the public a chance to enjoy a wealth of guided tours, tool exhibitions, gardening demonstrations, introductions to organic gardening techniques (compost , use of control insects), gardening workshops, talks, etc. The Friday is dedicated to schoolchildren. www.alterarosa.com Palais des Papes RMG 6, rue Pente Rapide 84000 Avignon +33 (0)4 90 27 50 00 rmg@palais-des-papes.com Avignon Tourist Office 41 Cours Jean Jaurès BP8 84000 Avignon +33 (0)4 32 74 32 74 information@ot-avignon.fr www.avignon-tourisme.com www.rendezvousauxjardins.culture.fr Sentier Art et Nature (Art & Nature Footpath) A 2010 new event, renewed in 2011. Running between the Queyras area and Val Varaita in Italy, this contemporary art footpath, set in wild countryside, offers a sensual marriage of modern works of art and dreamlike scenery. Created on site by international artists, the works are inspired by the close relationships nurtured over a lengthy period with the local inhabitants and landscapes. The itinerary, which knits artistic ties between France and Italy, is interspersed with around twenty works offering new angles on the surrounding countryside and instigating a poetic dialogue with the onlooker. Both moving and spirit-raising, they also aim to increase public awareness of nature's treasures through art. Salon Rencontre de Jardins, Bay of Saint-Tropez September Created in 2005 and originally featuring 35 exhibitors and 5000 m2 of exhibition space, the "Rencontre de Jardins" gardening fair has now become one of the South of France's benchmark events. This 4-day fair, held on the road to Saint-Tropez in the 30-acre grounds of the Pépinière Derbez nursery (decked out for the occasion with exceptional veteran palm trees, olive trees aged over a thousand years and rare plants), now welcomes over 200 exhibitors and spans 25,000m2. Recognized as the French Riviera's most stunning gardening meeting, "Rencontre de Jardins" is a paradise for beautiful garden lovers, featuring plants of every shape and size, garden furniture, new trends and, of course, environmentally-friendly gardening practises, thanks to the new "Rencontre de l’Environnement" environment section set up in 2008.

The French-style or "classical" garden has a primarily aesthetic and symbolic vocation. It brings the art of imposing symmetry on nature to its zenith and worships the triumph of order over disorder, cultivation over unhindered nature, and reflection over spontaneity. The fashion reached its height in the 17th century with the creation of a French-style garden for Louis XIV, soon to be copied by every court in Europe! Jardin du Château Val Joanis in Pertuis Situated 30 minutes to the North of Aix-enProvence, Château Val Joanis stands proudly on the still-visible remains of an ancient Roman villa. The chateau is bordered by a vast vineyard spanning over 445 acres and producing "Côtes du Luberon" AOC wines. This site is also home to a magnificent garden, awarded the “remarkable garden” prize in 2008. In 1978, aided and abetted by landscape gardener Tobbie Loup de Viane, Cécile Chancel decided to create an 18th-century style garden which would be both ornamental and ensure self-sufficiency in terms of fruit and vegetables. Major works kicked off in 1981 to give shape to the garden, which was divided into three terraces planted with a blend of traditional and modern ornamental trees, vegetables, flowers and evergreen plants. Free visits from April to late October, plus December (10 a.m.-7p.m.) Wine tasting, meals.

Botanical gardens first emerged during the Renaissance period in the aim of presenting various plant varieties according to a specific classification. Now used for the purposes of scientific research, conservation and education, they also attract numerous visitors. Jardin botanique alpin du Lautaret, in Villar d’Arène Set at an altitude of 2,100 metres, this garden was inaugurated in the late 19th-century in the specific aim of creating a natural space accessible to the public and dedicated to research into Alpine plant varieties. Over the years, it was enriched with various varieties originating from the Pyrenees, Caucasia and even the Himalayas. Today, it harbours an impressive 2,500 beautifully-presented plants, and offers visitors the chance to enjoy an introduction to botany against the magnificent backdrop of the Alps. The visit's educational value is enhanced by various exhibitions, extensive information, a shop and even botany courses.

Often at the head of vast fortunes, these wealthy aristocrats rivalled to create the most beautiful and luxurious garden. Abandoned for many years, the "Domaine du Rayol" was finally bought up by the "Conservatoire du Littoral" conservation society, then rehabilitated and renamed the "Jardin des Méditerranées". This extraordinary garden leads visitors on a voyage into landscapes inspired by Mediterranean climates throughout the world, including the Canary Islands, Mediterranean Basin, Southern Australia and central Chilli. A genuine marvel, Rayol also hosts workshops and guided tours throughout the year, plus introductions to diving in the "marine garden". And after your stroll (or dive!), you can enjoy a relaxing break at the bookshop or "Café du Jardinier".

Ecology is the science of the relationships between living organisms and their environment. And as such, ecological gardens are created and managed in the aim of protecting or restoring biodiversity, maintaining an ecological balance, and promoting sustainable development. Wild, frugal or elaborate, these gardens are both beautiful and environmentally-friendly! Jardin Elie Alexis “les rocailles” in La Roquebrussanne Set in the charming village of La Roquebrussanne, in the heart of the "Provence Verte" (Secret Provence) area, "Les Rocailles" was created by a man whose passion for gardening began in his early childhood. His lengthy and in-depth observations gradually led him to grasp the importance of the relationships between living organisms and their environment, and at just 20 years old he created "Les Rocailles" - a garden he was to continue nurturing all his life. This garden highlights the diversity of Mediterranean plant species and their resistance to arid climates. Highly concerned about environmental issues, Elie Alexis chose to model this space in the simplest and most natural way possible. He based his concept on self-sufficiency, with a kitchen garden, orchard and even animals providing for his needs, and used various ingenious methods to collect rain water. Highly appreciated for its wealth of flora and the fundamental values it purveys, this garden continue to live - alas without its creator thanks to the efforts of a local association ("Sauvegarde du Jardin d’Elie"). This botanical, educational, practical and instructive garden is particularly agreeable to visit, even in the dark! Opening times: March - June and September - October from 2-6 p.m. July - August from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. November - February from 2 p.m.-5 p.m. Closed Mondays. Guided tours and groups by appointment.

First and foremost for its singular nature, then for its beauty and – last but not least - for what its presence signifies. Because as you may or may not know, the butterfly is a genuine indicator of air quality! And if this garden attracts them in such numbers, it is obvious that its central location between the Mediterranean Sea and the mountains, coupled with the variety of plant species found there, is no coincidence. Situated at an altitude of 650 metres, on the hillside and stretching alongside the river Bléone, this garden abounds with vegetation and - of course – with marvellous butterflies. But not only butterflies: in fact, the variety of insects inhabiting this green jewel is surprising. Naturally, certain times of year are more conducive to butterfly-spotting (April September), which is hence the best time of year to visit this natural treasure. Totally enchanting! Opening times: April 1st - September 30th, 2011: guided tours subject to prior booking. April, May, September: MondayFriday at 11 a.m. and 2.30 p.m. June: every day at 11 a.m. and 2.30 p.m. July: every day at 11 a.m., 2.30 p.m. and 4 p.m. August: every day at 10 a.m., 11.30 a.m., 2.30 p.m. and 4 p.m. Digne les Bains / Pays Dignois Tourist Office Le Rond Point 04000 Digne les Bains +33 (0)4 92 36 62 62 www.ot-dignelesbains.fr Restaurant l’Olivier Central location, very high quality welcome and excellent cuisine.

Our "artistic gardens" are adorned with objects and installations, and their layout, colours and fragrances are designed to give food for thought on the relationships between art and nature... Jardin d’Eguilles Max Sauze Garden, in Eguilles Located in Eguilles near Aix-en-Provence, this garden covers an area of 950m². Abandoned for many years, it was then rehabilitated and landscaped over the years to become today's genuine exhibition space. Here, metal, paper, plastic sculptures and installations live happily alongside trees and a wide variety of plants, instilling the site with a delightfully poetic atmosphere. Art fans can buy up works by Max Sauze at the gallery-come-shop – also staging a permanent exhibition - at prices to suit every pocket.

Often poetic and sometimes mystical, each has its own symbolism. Jardin de l’Alchimiste in Eygalières This evocatively-named "Alchemist's Garden" garden is a fantastic and mysterious site, literally packed with history. The site of Mas de la Brune, situated in this ravishing village in the Alpilles mountain, overflows with profane and biblical elements and symbols dating back to the Renaissance. The science of Alchemy - one of the objectives of which was the creation of the Philosopher's stone capable of transforming metals – spread and developed up to the Renaissance period. The owners of the garden were so inspired by this quest that they decided to recreate a "magical" world, whose flowers, stones, trees, metals and shapes would be arranged to incite the visitor to meditate. In this aim, the visit takes place in three stages starting with a maze, then moving on to a magical plant garden and ending with an itinerary representing the alchemist's quest to create the famous philosopher's stone... Simply magical! Opening times: May (every day) June - October (weekends only), from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. or evenings by appointment.

It is based on the precept that nature is a living art with many poetic aspects, and as such goes happily hand in hand with literature. It is interspersed with texts on the garden itself, nature, and literature, inviting visitors to meditate and dream.

Situated downhill from the remains of an affluent Roman villa dating back to the beginning of the 1st century AD, the site was mercifully spared from a housing development project some years back. And it was thanks to fructuous research that this jewel, spanning an incredible 2,000 years of history, was finally unveiled. In 1999, the town council decided to buy up the site in the aim of rehabilitating the garden and fabulous, 65-metre long ornamental pond comprising its centrepiece. Now divided into several thematic gardens, the "Jardin Romain" offers visitors a chance to relive this fascinating period of history through the layout of its various elements and plants, and their references to the Greek and Latin divinities. Opening times: February, March, November from 2-5 p.m. (except Tuesdays) - April, May, October from 2-6 p.m. (except Tuesdays) June, August, September from 10-12.30 a.m. and 3-7 p.m. Closed in December and January.
