LE JARDIN ANGLAIS

Le Jardin Anglais is now acknowledged as one of the finest private gardens in France. It was the vision of Alan Mason, a leading English Landscape gardener and television host to create an English style garden in all its colour and dishevelled splendour that would profit from the comfort of the warm continental climate. From a ramshackle Breton vegetable plot and forest of poplar trees, Alan forged his design and now 15 years on, with more than 10 000 varieties of plants many rare and exotic, the garden has come of age. His work was the subject of a television series that captured the imagination of many.

Offering colour for all seasons, its boasts a rosary of some 360 David Austin English Roses that flower from May to November, a Mediterranean garden, arboretum , bamboo copse and herbaceous borders decorating the English formal lawns. Paths and streams meander through the woodland gardens with surprises and vistas around every corner, leading to an Asian themed island and lake to which trout return every year. The main lake linked as it is with the River Vilaine is a haven for local wildlife, included, kingfishers, herons, ducks and even coypu.

The garden has attracted visitors from all over the world, many comparing its beauty to that of Monet’s garden near Paris, and remains open to the public at various times of the year.
