The vegetable garden-orchard
When we first arrived at La Levrière, the garden was a large, untouched piece of land that looked like a jungle. We created a vegetable garden, planted an orchard, and set up a micro-farm to provide most of our needs and those of our guests for vegetables and fruit. Our farm-to-table dinner is cooked with our organic vegetables.
Part of the garden has been left wild to conserve endemic species and pollinators.
We are developing our own varieties of certain vegetables, adapted to the particular conditions of a riverside.
Our animals : horses, chickens and wild visitors
We are lucky to share our life with our dog Rio, an adorable Border Collie who loves playing with our guests, our horses, who stay in the garden during the warmer months, and our chickens, which children love to feed during a visit to the henhouse and which provide us with delicious eggs every morning.
Wild ducks live in the garden, we are also blessed with many birds, moorhens, frogs, and the occasional visit from deer.
Take La Reine Blanche walking path at the bottom of the garden for a stroll through the countryside amidst meadows of cows, horses… You may encounter roe deer. In the rutting season, you can hear the deer calling from the garden and perhaps catch a glimpse of them…
