Accueil > AccueilLe Prieuré d'Orsan
In the Berry region, at the Prieure Notre-Dame d'Orsan founded in the 12th century, the art of gardening of the pre-Renaissance times has been brought back to life.
The illuminations have enabled to re-create the hedges and fences, arbours and arches, raised flower-beds,kitchen-garden, orchards, a garden of medicinal herbs, a rose-garden, a secret garden... so characteristic of monastery gardens.
The out-buildings house a reception area and a restaurant specialised in the high-quality produce from the orchard and kitchen-gardens, as well as an exhibition centre for those interested in nature, gardens and landscapes.
You will find harmony and comfort in the elegantly furnished bedrooms, located in the former dining-hall and sleeping-quarter of the Prieuré.
A beautiful stopping place of calm and greenery.
Château of the month
Le château de Guilguiffin
At the end of Brittany, a few miles away from Quimper, on the site of Guilguiffin, a fortress had been erected during the 11th century. A few centuries later, with the agreement of king Louis XV, the landlord had it erased. After having the stones cut, he had them used to build up a new mansion, dedicated to hunting.
The present castle of Guilguiffin thus dates back to the 18th. At the entrance of this imposing estate, the drawing and setting of the stone pillars reflect the architect's oriental inspiration.
The castle and its 75 hectares park are listed and today completely restored. You will appreciate strolling along the alleys, lined with rhododendrons, daffodils and precious tree species.
A beautiful architecture, a haven of peace and charm.
