Worth seeing, the gardens, the giant maze, the coffee shop and souvenirs shop. Colette was an extraordinary woman, artist and French figure of her era. The 2019 movie traces her story and this Garden and Maze will be a great discovery if you are into literature or just willing to learn more about Colette and life in her time. The Maze was great fun, we did it during the summer and it was tricky to get out. A super fun moment also the giant games in the garden!!! Let's be kids again! As a huge Collette fan who has never read any of her work, and if I'm honest had no idea who she was before I came here, coming to this garden was a great way to get to know my mysterious literary hero. She had a Dog, (I'm also a huge fan of the dog, and have also never read it's work, or smelled it's pee) she loved goats... She may have spent some time in Morocco? She um... Did Lazer style obstacle courses and I think was crazy into Jenga. Perhaps her books will reveal more. Perhaps if I learn french I will finally understand what it is to mix the masculine with a soft feminine touch of glamour. Perhaps I can be worthy of a dog's love. Time is an illusion in the garden. The crepes were nice and there was enough weird stuff in the gift shop to keep my seven year old happy. For a fleeting moment. ENJOY! An excellent venue for all the family to enjoy. Flowers and shrubs are clearly labelled and reflect the various locations where she lived. The impact of the site obviously varies according to the season. Lots of play areas for the children and a good cafe with friendly staff. Beautiful! For adults, children and dogs! It's a wonderful trip out. We went out of high season, early October so had missed the really full bloom in the flower gardens but the roses were still magnificent. The 5 themed gardens were a joy. Lots of games for kids of all ages, dominoes, croquet, hool a hoop, skipping, giant twister etc etc. Lots of fun was had in the labyrinth, solving clues to escape. The cafe had a good selection of drinks etc. Excellent visit. Lovely place, fun with great things for the kids to do. We enjoyed the maze! We had a lovely few hours here with our children (5 and 8). The maze is lots of fun. The gardens are beautiful and there are lots of shady and rest areas as you go round on a hot day like today. Guides in English and French. We'll definitely go back A lovely place to spend an afternoon with children. We particularly enjoyed the labyrinth where we all learned a lot about Colette's life.
