A haven of peacefulness

From the Château du Domaine Les Crayères, you will contemplate a magnificent 17.3-acre park at the very heart of the "Cité des Sacres" ("Coronation City").

From its terrace, walk down a few steps to admire the soothing nature that unfurls in a rolling carpet of greenery. Monumental Lebanese cedars, century-old boxwood, sketch out the majestic horizon while flowerbeds add fragrance to the atmosphere when mild spring weather first appears.

The work of landscape architect Jules Edouard Redont of La Marne, the park completed in 1918 also boasts a gourmet vegetable garden, unique and luxuriant thanks to the chalky soil. White strawberries and Moroccan mint rub shoulders with aromatic herbs and edible flowers.

Natural treasures adding sublime touches to dishes in the gastronomic restaurant Le Parc and the "brasserie" Le Jardin.
