The garden is over two acres, with well-kept lawns, shrubs, bushes, fruit trees and ample seating for relaxing lazy days and alfresco dining.

Great eateries surround Maison de Tilleul; Monteton (3.5km) offers stunning views and features a bohemian jazz bar, a fine-dining restaurant, and a 12th-century church.
