Jardin de l'Eco-domaine la Fontaine

Kitchen gardens, a mandala of herbs, a recreational lawn, a forest garden and farm animals - come and stroll through the permaculture gardens of the Eco-domaine! These crops are grown to meet the needs of the restaurant, but also to share our passion for life with visitors and visitors' families.

Permaculture on the Eco-domaine

Bill Mollison, one of the founders of permaculture, said: "It is our responsibility to future generations not to leave behind us a barren field".

It is with this same philosophy that the Eco-domaine produces its fruit and vegetables on the micro-farm. By growing with nature, not against it, it's a real pleasure to see the vegetables go from the kitchen garden to the restaurant's plates, in a single stroke of the pruning shears. Fork-to-fork cooking is good for taste and good for the planet!


Mulching vegetables with hay from the farm, nourishing the soil with diverse organic matter, making room for the garden's insect helpers - these are the secrets to self-sufficiency and turning the Earth into a garden of abundance in cooperation with Nature.


The vegetable gardens are freely accessible, and you're sure to come across the team of permaculturists, who will be delighted to describe the many different vegetable combinations and growing techniques.
