Each section of the garden offers a unique theme, inviting you to explore and enjoy its serene beauty. Whether you're a history buff or a nature lover, there's something here for everyone. The careful selection of plants and flowers pays homage to medieval horticulture, making it a living tribute to the past.

The Maladrerie Saint-Lazare has stood the test of time, and its transformation into this lush garden is a testament to the enduring spirit of the area. Nearby, you'll find charming cafes and quaint shops that make Beauvais a perfect destination for a leisurely day trip.
