CAROLINGIAN GARDEN OF THE SILVER MINES IN MELLE
79500 Melle

Facing the vestiges of the Silver Mines belonging to the kings of France, the Carolingian garden designed under the supervision of professor Mathon displays the plants grown or gathered during the Gaulish period up to the end of the Middle Ages. An exhibit informs the visitors and invites them to stroll through the famous Melle Tree Garden (arboretum) that lines the town's botanical paths.
