GARDEN OF DAOULAS ABBEY
Centre Culturel 29460 Daoulas

The Abbey's medicinal gardens cover a 4,000-sq-m surface area. Installed on southwestern-exposure terraces surrounded by high walls, these gardens fit into a vast landscaped park. The architectural concept chosen for the design is a blend of the utilitarian Middle Age square-shaped beds, the religious order and the regular Renaissance lines. The 160 species of plants presented are of various origins, each with subjective qualities and singular virtues.
