Medieval Garden

Yesterday (Tuesday) we visited the "Jardin Médiéval" described as "a rich heritage to discover"...


In the 11th Century there were two castles in Uzés ... the Bermond and the Raynon Castles named after the two lords of Uzés.

The Bermond castle is now called the "Duchy". 

The Medieval Garden created in 1995 is scattered throughout the Raynon Castle grounds, and was inspired by the walled gardens of the end of the Middle Ages.

Beautifully laid out gardens representing the four seasons.

The property and gardens are looked after /operated by the IN SITU association.

Exhibitions are also hosted in the various rooms of the buildings ... While we were there, a pottery and sculpture exhibit was on display.







                      

What a wonderful setting for these gardens...






                 


                   

         

                                      






                                  

Coiffure

If you have followed us through our previous travel adventures to France you will be aware that we believe there is "something in the water" or maybe it is the French sunshine and wine ... 

This year Madame was first in need of a visit to the Coiffure, normally it is Monsiuer Honey!

Yesterday Madame already noticed that her hair had grown considerably in the past three weeks also causing her roots needing to be touched up ...

Et voila! 

Today, an appointment at a local coiffure "Kosmo Coiffure" and I came out a transformed women with a new look!

Another part of changing my front door ... although Monsieur Honey says the hinge on my new Front door has fallen off!

Ça c'est parfait!
