Garden of the fayence workers

Escape to the banks of the Blies!

An industrial wasteland? A garden? A work of art? The Jardin des Faïenciers is all of these things at the same time! On the site of the Moulin de la Blies, elected 9th favourite monument of the French in 2015, the landscape designer Philippe Niez set himself a challenge: to give a second life to the industrial heritage of the banks of the Blies. And the result is amazing!

The garden of the Faïenciers is a unique place to walk around in Lorraine. Here, old millstones and brick chimneys stand side by side with Steppe lilies and other hydrangeas in bloom during the summer. In autumn, let yourself be surprised by the gingerbread smell of the cake trees. The colours, plants and other small creatures that populate the garden vary with the seasons and evoke the inspiration of the earthenware decorators of past centuries.
