A WONDER OF TRANQUILLITY AND BEAUTY
There’s something in the atmosphere at Couvent des Minimes. Is it 300 years of history, or is it the fragrance of innumerable flowers blanketing a terraced, aromatic garden?
Choose a spot that looks down on the time-weathered buildings of the 17th century Couvent des Minimes – and beyond to the rolling Haute Province countryside – and spend a blissful hour in quiet contemplation. The grounds of Couvent des Minimes are a wonder of tranquillity and beauty. They comprise aromatic, pleasure and kitchen gardens arranged over 12 magnificent terraces, so it’s little wonder L’Occitane was inspired to create their world famous fragrances and beauty products on this spot.
