The Medieval Garden at Guédelon Castle At Guédelon

Castle in Burgundy, history doesn’t just rise in stone — it also grows from the soil. The medieval garden is an authentic reconstruction of what might have surrounded a 13th-century castle. It’s cultivated entirely by hand, using traditional methods — no chemicals, no modern machines, just the same tools and techniques people would have used hundreds of years ago. Here, gardeners grow heritage varieties of vegetables, herbs, fruits, and medicinal plants, chosen for their links to the Middle Ages. Everything serves a purpose — food for the table, herbs for healing, flowers for dyes, and plants for perfume or preservation. The garden also demonstrates sustainable medieval practices: composting, natural pest control, and recycling organic matter from around the site, such as wood shavings and animal manure. More than a display, it’s a living classroom — showing how medieval people lived in harmony with their environment, using the land’s resources wisely.

This calls for a refreshing drink; maybe a cocktail or champagne. A little chitchat with a friendly bartender who is always smiling and ready to serve, a compilation of soothing Caribbean music and a view of the breathtaking sunset. What more can I ask for?
