Le Potager Extraordinaire
Description
The Potager extraordinaire cultivates the curious and the bizarre. While vegetables and plants seem to be part of ordinary everyday life, the Potager extraordinaire overturns our certainties: we still have everything to discover about the world around us!
7 hectares of discoveries with more than 1,000 varieties of food plants, more than 4 hours of visits with non-stop activities (dramatised tours, visits with the gardeners, creative and gourmet workshops, etc.).
In 2026, the Potager Extraordinaire will be open from 14 May to 1 November, with 2 seasons:
- Potager Academy: springtime in the Potager (New for 2026). From 14 May to 28 June 2026. In spring, the Potager is sown and planted. Discover the seed shop with Capucine, explore the life of the soil with our gardeners, take part in sowing and cutting workshops or meet our animals in the company of our animators.
- Summer / autumn season - from 1 July to 1 November 2026. Discover all the collections in the Potager Extraordinaire: tomato and gourd tunnels, vegetable library, bizarretum, exotic vegetable garden... while enjoying the many activities on offer! At this time of year, Le Potager Extraordinaire is at its peak!
