The Herbarium, enclosed in brick and flint walls, dominates the town's medieval ramparts. It comprises a wonderfully 'ordered jumble' of plants grown in the Middle Ages. More botanical than ornamental, this garden will nevertheless please gardeners, both beginners and experienced ! The Fruticetum is a modern interpretation of a medieval garden. The colour blue pays tribute to "Woad", a dye-producing plant that was of great value in the Middle Ages. The town's flower-decked streets, along with the Herbarium and Fruticetum, form the "gardens of the Baie" and make it such a joy to walk around Saint-Valery-sur-Somme.

En famille

Tucked away in the old town, this garden will delight the whole family. It's already an adventure, just finding the place: follow arrows through the maze of streets in the medieval town. Once inside, everyone can run/walk around as they please, playing hide-and-seek along the colourful flower-filled paths. Leave the pushchair at the entrance, help toddlers take their first steps and older children recognise different scents! It takes about an hour to go round.
