Jardins de Salagon

The Jardins de Salagon are a public park, museum and an ethnobotanical garden located in the town of Mane, in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence Department of France.

They surround the buildings of Salagon priory [fr] (12th century) and are classified by the French Ministry of Culture as one of the Remarkable Gardens of France.

The gardens are located at an altitude of five hundred meters, between the Durance River and the Lure mountain, in the basin of Forcalquier.

At the end of the 10th century the domaine belonged to the Benedictine Abbey of Saint-André de Villeneuve-lès-Avignon.

In the 18th century the priory was attached to the convent of the Minimes brothers of Mane.
