  Jardin des Aubépines

  Set in the village of Auffargis, in the heart of the Haute Vallée de Chevreuse Regional Nature Park, Jardin des Aubépines is an English-style garden. Spanning 3,000 square meters, it showcases rare trees alongside a wide range of shrubs prized for their blossoms and autumn colors. With each season, the many flowerbeds reveal new tableaux. The bloom of roses and clematis, the mix of perennials and grasses, the hydrangeas, and the zen garden all contribute to a harmonious whole. The pond serves as a wildlife hotspot and a tranquil, inviting pause. A flowering kitchen garden completes the ensemble.
