点评:A True Off-the-beaten- Path Place - Jardins de Viels-Maisons
Tucked away in the peaceful countryside of Hautes-de-France, the Jardins de Viels-Maisons are an absolute hidden gem a little over an hour from Paris by train or car. Upon arrival, you’ll spot a sign at the gate with a phone number—we gave it a call, and within minutes, the owner arrived She’s a charming and gracious lady, the daughter-in-law of the original creator of the gardens - Bertrande de Ladoucette. clearly pours her heart into this special place.
She welcomed us warmly and took the time to share the garden’s history and her family's role in cultivating it. We arrived at the perfect moment—roses and peonies were in full bloom, and everywhere we turned, there were vibrant flowers, lush greenery, and beautifully maintained plants. One of the most unexpected and awe-inspiring sights was a grove of Giant Sequoias, over 200 years old.
The garden is thoughtfully designed with intimate paths and secluded seating areas that invite you to pause, reflect, and simply enjoy the serenity. It truly feels like stepping into another world. And after the hustle and bustle of Paris it was a delightful respite.
When she welcomed us in, she shared one wish: that we enter the garden happy and leave even happier. And we absolutely did.
I would recommend a visit to Jardins de Viels-Maisons to anyone. And it’s only 6 euro to get in!
翻译:真正人迹罕至的地方——维耶尔梅松花园
维耶尔梅松花园坐落在上法国大区宁静的乡村,是一块鲜为人知的瑰宝,距离巴黎仅一个多小时的火车或汽车车程。抵达后,您会在门口看到一个写着电话号码的牌子——我们拨打了电话,几分钟后,花园主人就来了。她是一位迷人而优雅的女士,是花园创始人贝特朗·德·拉杜塞特的儿媳,显然对这个特别的地方倾注了全部心血。
她热情地欢迎了我们,并花时间分享了花园的历史以及她的家族在培育花园中所扮演的角色。我们到达的时机恰到好处——玫瑰和牡丹盛开,随处可见鲜艳的花朵、郁郁葱葱的绿植和精心维护的植物。最令人意想不到、最令人叹为观止的景象之一是一片树龄超过200年的巨型红杉林。
花园经过精心设计,设有私密的小径和僻静的休息区,让您驻足沉思,静享宁静。仿佛置身于另一个世界。在喧嚣的巴黎之后,这里是一次令人愉悦的休憩。
她欢迎我们进来时,分享了一个愿望:希望我们开心地走进花园,更加开心地离开。我们确实做到了。
我强烈推荐大家参观维耶尔之家花园。而且门票只需6欧元!
