Le Clos du Peyronnet - Wisteria 3


Another pergola at the beautiful Clos du Peyronnet. This glorious garden is in Garavan and just 200 metres from the Italian frontier.

A cup of tea with William, sitting at this table is heaven - looking (to the left of this photo) over beautiful pools (plus ducks) and beyond to the Mediterranean - it is absolutely my favourite Menton garden.

This wisteria - click to enlarge the smaller photo - is called 'Black Dragon.'

This is the last photo of the Clos for the moment but we will return for a series on this beautiful garden later in the year. Tomorrow, the last in the 'wisteria' series, and this time at Place des Herbes in the Old Town.

vraiment mignon ce jardin, en plein été quand il fait chaud, cela doit être agreable de venir se mettre au frais dans ce jardin

Feels more like a jungle that a garden! I'll have some green tea please.

Am currently a victim (since last Thursday...) of internet havoc, so I haven't been checking blogs! Been using scheduled posting from friends' places.

I love wisteria!!!!

I like this side better than the other side. This has a lot of character and I bet it smells delicious.

Such incredible wisteria. I'd love to be sitting beneath it.

Merci de nous mettre un peu de soleil Mentonnais sur ton blog, car il pleut sur Paris.
A bientôt Jilly.

I really like these pilars made of stones, piled up, with this wall made the same way.
It's a "delicious" garden, with great atmosphere.
As Olivier said, certainly one of the most pleasant place to have dinner, at the beginning of the summer nights.

I could stay here for far too long. So virtually relaxing.

Can you dream of a better place to live ... or at least visit?

The Garden of Eden? Gorgeous!

Nathalie said...

Jilly, this is my favourite of your wisteria shots! Give me tea with William in this location any time, no matter who William is!

Nathalie said...

Your description of the view also did it for me, I am soooo sensitive to gorgeous views!

un endroit paisible pour lire un bon livre
a peaceful place to read a good book
