Jardins du Château Val Joanis

They are private but open to the public, and are classified by the French Ministry of Culture among the Remarkable Gardens of France.

[1] The Chateau is built on the site of an ancient Roman villa, some of whose stones today decorate the garden.

The building is decorated with the coat of arms of Jean de Joanis, the secretary of the King Louis III of Naples.

Different varieties of tomatoes are grown on bamboo frames, and there are pyramids of ivy and hops (Humulus lupulus).

The best times to visit the garden are June and July for the flowers, or September for the change of colors of the vineyards and trees.
