Association Domaine du Rayol Review

A place to relax The atmosphere was good to some extent.

A place to visit because it is unique
The guided tour is obviously focused on botany and goes from one geographic region to another
She also explains the history of this garden
If you are not a botany lover, you will enjoy the landscapes and take some pretty pictures
Do not expect a French garden, here the natural and original landscape is sought after
We really have the impression that the human hand is missing ...
The ride is superb
One caveat, however: the price of entry and consumption inside the park.

Beautiful garden whose guided tour is really worth a visit.

An exceptional site, which is worth seeing. Accessible to any budget. Congratulations to everyone who works to make us. Great.

Very disappointing visit. Might as well go for a walk in the forest. It's the same.! The gardens are not maintained .... Nothing to see.

Very pretty park with beautiful and bluffing vegetation

Good for a pleasant walk of a few hours between exotic flora. A visit in spring, when there are many flowering plants, is much more rewarding than in September, when many plants are not at their best after the summer drought. The entrance fee of 11 is then on the high side.

Beautiful botanical park with 4 gardens. Very original in its composition. Each season offers a new floral perspective. I highly recommend to visit with family. Small country-style restaurant cafe

Remarkable Mediterranean gardens. Possibility of very friendly on-site catering. Definitely worth a visit.

Beautiful area. Gorgeous. Small stop at the restaurant of the small farm at lunch time. Very nice salad, plentiful and excellent. Very welcoming.

Very nice place to spend half a day (beware of mosquitoes anyway). The bookstore is a marvel for lovers of books, nature and science). Perfect for children 8-12 years old with a discovery course.

For real plant lovers is well worth seeing, for all others with 12.50 entry just fine. There is a nice map, on which you can see the trails (about 2 km) and read about the plant species. In the middle of the park is a sweet coffee and there is a enclosure with three donkeys. From some places you have a beautiful view of the sea, but otherwise the garden is quite wild and very natural. Which is nice, but I would have expected a little more attention to detail and therefore prefer to hike and look at only a part of the plant world.

Fabulous Mediterranean garden! To discover absolutely

A place that I expected magic or little maintenance because this garden must live by itself! This is the motto of the association. Entrance extremely expensive for what it is. Pity.

The guide is awesome
The garden is beautiful even in October

This place is unique, it offers a magic parenthesis. The reception is at the height of the domain. The training is of excellent levels. The restaurant, simple and healthy. The bookstore has a very wide choice of books More

Always a delight this ride
Today is not customary for us because we followed a guide.
I find it still boring but the guides of the domain are exceptional
Prefer the walk in the morning for freshness, avoid mosquitoes and finish at the restaurant of the estate in the shade and offers very good products

Too bad the names of trees and other curiosities do not appear on the site

Fantastic garden. Wonderful sound of the waves breaking, breathtaking views over the bay. A relaxing 2 hours stroll around this Mediterranean garden. Well worth the visit.

Very expensive (12,00 ) for any garden. Plants seen everywhere. No explanation about the plants, not even their name. The plants are grouped by region of the world. Ok but the limits are blurry. What characterizes this region compared to others? Mystery. Nothing is said. No suggested route. A signage wave (numbers) on the site but which are not included on the map given at the entrance. The only good thing is the beautiful sea view. Really good value for so little. If the parking is free, there are not enough places. We had to park at the entrance to the bike path.

Beautiful organization, beautiful gardens, provide mosquito repellent

Worth to be seen at another time of the year because currently (end of summer) the blooms being finished there is not much to see, except leaves. In the spring, it must be much more beautiful.
12 per person for what we saw today is very expensive but probably more justified at other times of the year.

Hello a royal visit from start to finish. A very warm welcome, a very pleasant and competent tour leader that is a pleasure. Plan a day's visit if the landscape of each Mediterranean country takes you on a world tour. The views of the sea are magnificent and you participate in the functioning of an association that defends the Mediterranean landscape and the plants that constitute it.

Very nice area. We are really excited to have a ride. Expect good shoe !!!

Super nice walk in a beautiful garden, a forest with splendid views of the Mediterranean all made by an association to see without fail. In addition there is a small restaurant of fresh products where to eat a small ice cream.

Very nice garden it would be better not to smoke the visitors by a fire of branches ...

Exceptional setting! Unmissable places if you visit the region. We would dream of staying there one night ...

Beautiful, very natural garden made by gardeners who understand nature

Magnificent place that allows you to travel according to the vegetation that surrounds us!

Quiet and interesting place, well laid out. Lack some names of trees and plants, although the park does not claim as botanical garden ...

The extraordinary and extraordinary garden to see absolutely

Mediterranean gardens without any flower or color, it's a shame. The ride is nice anyway but certainly not worth the 12 euros requested.

It must be much more beautiful in winter and spring! A little disappointed by the lack of flowers and the few exuberant plants as we can see in South Africa.
Superb view, shame not to be able to visit at least one property. The whole is full of charm.

Lack of bar where you can quietly enjoy a drink, the guide brings you under a scorching heat at 12 noon in front of the only restaurant where you are only allowed to drink from 2:30 p.m. to the limit !! Impossible either to sit down anywhere in the domain, so we leave at noon without having been able to individually finish the visit of the place. IT'S NULL IN ANY CASE I WOULD GO BACK !!!

Magnificent change of scenery guaranteed, we can learn about it and feast on it ... without forgetting the pleasure of the eyes .....

Unblieu magnificent to see absolutely if you pass in the corner Very nice views on the sea An atypical restaurant with a card entirely organic and varied Eco-friendly table A happiness

For lovers of "true" nature ... It is absolutely necessary to do 1 tour. The guide is absolutely fabulous. Facing the sea, under the freshness of the trees, the heat of mid-September becomes pleasant. THANK YOU

very beautiful garden for those who love cacti and succulents

Very beautiful, very pleasant to walk in the middle of this lush nature even on January 1st.

Wonderful Mediterranean garden: an invitation to travel!

Beautiful walk in nature, quiet even in August and with magnificent views. Only (small) regret: we can not access the beach that borders the garden. But it does not deserve to remove a star so the garden is beautiful. Little more for the restaurant all natural and with a superb view.

Nice garden with guided tours to learn more about the plants of the region. Very well maintained. Passionate staff who transmit the taste of nature and the preservation of the ecosystem. Special booklets are provided for children. The garden changes during the seasons which it is nice to return at different times of the year to see the landscape evolve.

Wonderful place. A haven of peace with magnificent views of the Levant Islands.

Majestic. Sublime. This area is to visit. DO NOT LOUP

Spend a beautiful afternoon walking through this garden that will make you travel ... Do not hesitate to follow the guided tour very informative.
Only black spot, parking. A tip, do not follow the signs that guide you to the site .... stop a little higher than the tourist office, Avenue Mistral.
From here a majestic staircase will take you to the gardens.

Beautiful place to visit. Many plants to admire and discover. Be careful, many stairs. Exceptional walk.

Wonderful setting, landscaped garden with a multitude of magnificent and sometimes even amazing plants. Allow at least 2 hours.

Definitely worth the detour, thousands of gasoline, breathtaking views, a sublime little restaurant. In short perfect

Amazing place to contemplate the magnificent of mediterranean gardens.

Beautiful garden, well maintained, I really liked the calm of this place

Garden very well maintained in its initial character, half Provencal, half tropical.

Many different special Mediterranean plants. Had a great time there! Just forget to put on some protection/cream, so got many mosquitoes' bites in the end...

Beautiful wooded area. An easy access path but also small paths, steps to visit while abandoning yourself to nature, to the various scents, to the sea air listening to nature. Pretty log benches all along the course allow you to sit and contemplate. The path descends until it overlooks the sea.
Really relaxing.
We did it at the end of October on a sunny day.
A "small farm" in the course allows you to eat which is very pleasant.
Come and discover for yourself by taking the time because you have to let go

Simply beautiful, for lovers of nature and plants. The guided tour is very interesting and we can see that the guide knows her subject very well and shares it with pleasure. For my part I had a great time.

Beautiful place for young and old. Change of scenery and culture. The kids loved it!

Extremely pleasant and relaxing place to visit.
Between land and sea, travel allows plants from different continents

Sublime garden. It is more beautiful to see in the spring period, because in summer the plants are drier. The guided tour is fascinating, and teaches us a lot about the ecology of the Mediterranean garden.
The garden is huge, a large PRM path is arranged for strollers and wheelchairs.
Lots of things to discover in this garden designed by Gilles Clement. You won't regret the entrance fee.

A beautiful place. A getaway to recommend for all nature lovers and magical landscapes !!

Very nice to see although it gave us an impression of less maintenance, possibly due to a lack of funding

We recommend visiting the estate. It's a great immersion in a natural environment that also allows us to travel. The guides open the desire to browse and discover all the riches of the site. To do and remake absolutely.

Very disappointed. A guided tour not really successful. A garden not really remarkable. We had organized our vacation around the garden tour and it was not the expected experience.

It makes you travel it's true that 12 euros the entry is a sum but given the size and the variety we spend 3 enchanting hours!
