Garden of shrubs and perennials, designed around a pond filled with a thousand colorful flowers at Champtocé-sur-Loire
These gardens, planted on 5 hectares of land, surround a private château with gargoyles and a handsome square keep, now listed as a Monument Historique. Over 18 levels, 18 paintings have been designed to give form and life to the pruned yews, irises, roses, shrubs and perennials that are meticulously tended, as well as the ponds teeming with aquatic plants, and the vegetable gardens. The collection of topiary art is impressive, and it's easy to understand why the French Ministry of Culture has awarded the estate the "Jardin remarquable" label. Over the past twenty years, the granddaughter of the estate's first artists has taken up the torch and continues to lovingly maintain this heritage, which has been slowly building up since the 1920s. Twice in 2025, on the 2nd weekends of May and October, the gardens will host the Plant Festival, which attracts several thousand visitors. More comically, the gardens also host the annual Tomato Festival in August. The site has won several major awards, including first place in the Vieilles Maisons françaises and first place in the Société Horticulture de France. If you're looking for a generous stroll, in the heart of an atypical natural setting that's been worked over but retains its authenticity and freshness, the gardens of Château du Pin will be an unforgettable discovery. Although the château is not open to visitors, the garden is accessible and promises to keep you busy!
