Bienvenue en Haute-Provence authentique

Welcome in authentic Haute-Provence

the gardens
of valsaintes Abbey

The Gardens of Valsaintes Abbey are a unique destination in the heart of Haute-Provence. This remarkable garden reveals a different face with each passing season. A rose garden (350 varieties of old, modern, and botanical roses), a dry garden, and a permaculture vegetable garden unfold across the terraced hillsides (restanques). The garden is maintained entirely using natural gardening methods (permaculture, aromatherapy).

The church, the last remaining vestige of Provence’s fourth Cistercian abbey, welcomes visitors and resonates with Gregorian chant throughout the year.

The garden is open from February to October for self-guided or guided tours. Numerous events are offered throughout the year: conferences, workshops, and demonstrations.

Three signature events punctuate the year: L’Abbaye en Roses (late May to early June), the Tomato Festival (mid-August), and the Winter Solstice.

Enjoy a delicious meal at the on-site restaurant, open year-round.

You can also extend your visit with an overnight stay in one of the abbey’s guest rooms or in the gîte, which hosts numerous workshops throughout the year.

Whether for a simple visit with family or friends, or a longer stay, Valsaintes offers a timeless journey through a garden like no other…
