The Gardens of the Angel (Les Jardins de l'Ange) in Verdalle in Tarn (81), are gardens within a garden, in which the eclecticism of genres blends perfectly around a castle whose origins date back to the Crusades.
As soon as you enter the park, you are drawn into these serene settings. Twenty-two gardens and squares invite you to escape and relax. Take the time to connect with nature, the centuries-old trees, a wide variety of plants and flowers and the countless decorations that make these gardens so unique.
As you stroll through the gardens, with each change of scenery feel the enchantment and the poetry, and pause to sit in contemplation and recharge your batteries. Between doves and angels, contemplation revives wonder, joy overcomes gloom and serenity wins over the passing of time.
