Jardin de Berchigranges
The Jardin de Berchigranges was the Winner of the second prize in the "Best Park in France 2007 competition" . This garden which is 700m above sea level in the Vosges region of France has been carved out of the mountain. Tons of granite has been moved, top soil imported, water ways made and plants studied to find those suited to the extreme conditions in this area (-22 ° with no protective snow cover in the winter of 2001/2).
Each year Monique and Thierry Dronet add another area to their garden, always something original and beautiful to maintain the reputation of this remarkable garden.
There are now 12 themed gardens, including a cottage garden, a rose cascade, a purple garden and a rock garden and all are set against a magnificent backdrop of mountains and forests.
