On the edge of Mayenne, at the gateway to Brittany, Sylvie and Alain Douinot have created a romantic and refined garden around their 17th-century home.
On 25 June 2025, the Jardin de la Pellerine was hit by violent hailstorms that destroyed everything. As a result, the garden will unfortunately be closed for the 2025 season.
Sylvie and Alain Douinot have created a romantic and refined garden around their 17th-century home.
Spread over 2 hectares, a succession of small, intimate gardens lead you from surprise to surprise. From the pond to the pergola, from the mixed borders to the pond and the undergrowth, a profusion of perennials, old roses and rare shrubs will enchant your stroll. A colourful palette to delight the eye and the passion for plants in this highly architectural garden, which won the Vieilles Maisons Françaises gardener's prize in 2003.
Perennial plant nursery on site.
Label of "Remarkable Garden" awarded by the Ministry of Culture.
Surface area: 2.5 ha
