Jardins de Maizicourt

To make a day of it

Jardins de Maizicourt stands in Maizicourt (Somme), in the Hauts-de-France region of France. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The gardens of Maizicourt surround a small eighteenth-century brick and stone château in the north of the Somme department, though the château itself is not the main draw: the gardens, awarded the remarkable garden label, are the reason to visit. Across roughly ten hectares, some twenty distinct garden spaces follow one another, marked by topiary work, reconstructed traditional outbuildings such as a dovecote, a bread oven and a stable, and collections of trees, some over a century old. Visitors move from a Japanese-inspired corner to a kitchen garden, from a rose garden to a woodland planted with maples and hellebores.

What to know

• The visual interest shifts with the seasons, as successive flowering periods are a large part of what draws visitors.
