Visit the Violette et Capucine garden, producing edible flowers, herbs and rare plants, certified organic in La Flotte.

Since 2021, Sophie Perrain has been cultivating a collection of edible flowers, aromatics, young shoots and rare plants on more than 2 hectares in La Flotte, aimed at the most demanding chefs and taste artisans as well as lovers of nature and unique flavors.
Organically grown by hand and in the spirit of permaculture (cultivation on living soil, respecting biodiversity and natural balances), Violette et Capucine's selection of plants is diverse and audacious, yet adapted to the very specific terroir of the Ile de Ré and its climate.

This visit is a true sensory journey through the heart of this living, colorful and fragrant garden. Let yourself be enchanted by the astonishing qualities of each plant you encounter: the honeyed sweetness of pansy flowers, the lemony, floral notes of pelargonium, the iodized, oyster-like accent of borage flowers, or the peppery spiciness of nasturtium leaves... At the end of the tour, you'll be invited to taste these plants and discover the handcrafted creations made from the garden's harvests (herbal teas, jellies, syrups, dried flowers, etc.), in a pleasantly shaded undergrowth setting.

Come away with ideas for simple recipes to enhance a seasonal salad, pastry or sauce!

A box containing a selection of flowers and herbs encountered in the garden is included in the visit.
