Culture & Heritage

The dry stone walls called terraces or "restanques" in Provence are an integral part of Le Lavandou's history. At the end of the 19th century, Piedmontese workers built the Saint-Clair "restanques" for growing flowers and early fruit and vegetables.

Built in 1855 and damaged during world war two, the Saint Louis Church has been transformed throughout the years. The bell tower has been replaced thanks to Father Hélin, local member of the French resistance. The choir has been renovated with handmade fresco painted by the artist Jean-Baptiste Garrigou in 2009.

Listed 19th-century terraced agricultural property. Privately owned, the garden is only open in exceptional circumstances, notably during the Rendez-Vous aux Jardins.
