Murs à pêches, Agricultural heritage site in Montreuil, France
The Murs à Pêches complex contains 35 hectares of orchards separated by three-meter-high walls made of gypsum, stones, and plaster.
During the 17th century, expert horticulturists in Montreuil developed wall-trained peach trees that supplied fruits to Louis XIV, the Queen of England, and Russian nobility.
The specialized trellising technique using fabric pieces and nails directed peach branches to capture optimal heat from the walls throughout the day.
The association offers guided visits on Sunday afternoons from 2:30 to 4:30 at 23 rue Saint Just, accessible by bus lines 102, 121, or 122.
The site features specific wall orientations calculated to maintain favorable temperatures for fruit cultivation using sun exposure and terrain slopes.
