Serre de la Madone, Protected botanical garden in Menton, France
The seven-hectare Serre de la Madone garden spans multiple terraced levels connected by stone staircases and paths lined with Mediterranean and exotic plants.
Lawrence Johnston, creator of Hidcote Manor Garden, established this garden between 1924 and 1939, incorporating rare plant specimens from his worldwide expeditions.
The garden reflects French Mediterranean gardening traditions with its geometric water features, carefully positioned fountains, and integration of local stone elements.
Visitors can access the garden Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 18:00, with adult admission at 10 euros and student tickets at 7 euros.
The garden includes specific climate zones that allow tropical plants to grow alongside Mediterranean species through a system of terraces and greenhouses.
