194 A dialogue between heritage and nature at Domaine Allard

[Castles] [Nature]

Domaine Allard, an estate created at the end of the 19th century, opens its indoor and outdoor spaces for a self-guided discovery between heritage, landscape and biodiversity.
Visitors can explore the neo-Flemish Renaissance reception rooms and discover a garden carrying the “Nature au Jardin” label, where landscape qualities and biodiversity play a central role.
The garden preserves several traces of its history: a gazebo, old water features and original layouts form an ensemble in which built heritage, nature and landscape still enter into dialogue. The route also shows how more contemporary interventions, such as a natural-looking swimming pond, can be harmoniously integrated into a historic estate and contribute to its landscape character.

A musical improvisation performance will take place from 14:00 to 16:00, led by Victoria, cellist, and Balthazar, saxophonist. The duo will invite the audience to tell the landscape.

Accessibility: the garden is large and offers space to find calm if needed. Please note that it is on a slope. The reception room is accessible.
