Descriptif du centre d'interprétation
Hanging along the castle, in the city centre, the medieval garden offers the shade of the vines of its pergola and the soft murmur of its fountain, symbol of life …
A sign of richness, the pleasure garden, also known as the “orchard”, mixes cobbled benches conducive to rest and reading and squares bordered by “plessis” (braided wood), welcoming useful plants (the simple ones) and the flowers for the chapel ornament and the fragrant roses... Located in the heart of the medieval town of Beaugency, the Château de Beaugency is a surprising place. This 11th-century castle on the Loire was owned by the Lords of Beaugency, the Crown of France and then the Dukes of Orléans. Today, it has been transformed into a Centre d'Art Numérique, one of France's leading cultural venues for digital art. LocaDescriptif du parc et jardin
