Journee du Patrimoine 2012

Once a year historic monuments and gardens in France are open free to the public.  We took  David's group to the Jardin de la Louvre - "garden of the she-wolf" in Bonnieux.  The garden was accorded the status of 'jardin remarquable' in 2007. It was designed and built by Nicole de Vésian, a designer with Hermès, who took on a series of fallow terraces and transformed them into this beautiful and tranquil oasis of contrasting aromatics and hedging.
