Description
An exceptional medieval treasure, made immortal by Joan of Arc and Rabelais, the Castle of Rivau seems to have come out of a fairy tale book. It has been restored with passion and taste.
The gardens of Rivau have received the labels "Remarkable Garden" and "Perfumed Roses Collection". In 12 gardens botanical collections are presented with spirit and creativity. With the seasons and their multiple flowerings following each other, each garden changes its colours. Guided by the goblin, fairy and fantasy creature topiaries, the visitors of Rivau gardens enter the historic atmosphere of the site. There is fun and relaxation in store for the whole family, with charming surprises.
A unique atmosphere...you will be charmed, promised.
