Provence has no shortage of incredibly pretty little towns that are worth exploring and stopping in for a meal or a coffee while you people-watch and generally relax, especially if you are between tastings at vineyards, heading to a more famous tourist attraction, or if you are simply wandering about and taking in the beauty of the region while staying in one of our villas in Provence. Despite the wealth of impossibly charming towns, one that we especially recommend making time to explore is Tourtour. 

Jardin Japonais de l'Île de Versailles

Located on an island, in the middle of a river, in the north of France, a beautiful Japanese garden emerges like a vision. This special wonder is a must-see for garden-lovers and those fond of a unique attraction who book one of our vacation rentals in Brittany. 


Called the Jardin Japonais de l'Île de Versailles (Île de Versailles Japanese Garden), this lovely lush space in the city of Nantes was built on the artificially formed island of Île de Versailles, which was created in 1831 using soil excavated during the construction of the Nantes–Brest canal and which originally housed workshops for carpenters, boat builders, engineers, and others working on the canal. These remained there for over 100 years until the island eventually fell into disrepair as they began to be closed.
