Description

A scrubland area, the Graves site is a true Mediterranean garden. This landscape of rock gardens is home to rich vegetation typical of the high Provençal hills. The blooms follow one another from spring to winter, offering the attentive walker a colorful and fragrant panorama that changes with the seasons. Twenty species of plants and trees, known for their past and present culinary and therapeutic uses, have been highlighted along a 2-kilometer loop.
