Behind the listed façade of the cultural centre, hides the garden of la Posterie with more than 500 kinds of plants. It was developed on the site of the Saint-Martin church and comprises a herbularius or a garden with medicinal plants, a bouquet flower garden and a hortus or vegetable garden. The planting logic of our ancestors is respected: the flowerbeds invite you to get to know the pharmacy from the medieval fortresses and monasteries. The garden is bordered by old fruit trees: species that are about to disappear such as the medlar tree and the service tree. A beehive and a snail farm have also found refuge in this natural site.
