Discover more about EDEN PARK / The Garden of Eden

Nestled in the heart of Tournon-sur-Rhône, EDEN PARK, or The Garden of Eden, offers visitors a serene and enchanting escape. This historical landmark, once the grounds of a monastery and convent, has been transformed into a picturesque garden that captivates with its diverse flora, tranquil ambiance, and stunning views. EDEN PARK's history dates back centuries, with the Cordeliers monks establishing themselves here in 1654. After the revolution, in 1815, the nuns of the 'Company of Mary Our Lady' settled in place of the Cordeliers. For centuries, the garden served as a place for contemplation and prayer. In 2008, Eric acquired the garden, and since then, he has constantly developed it to make it the corner of paradise that you can visit today. Winding paths invite exploration, revealing vibrant flower beds, shaded areas, and serene water features. The garden's design encourages leisurely strolls and quiet contemplation, with surprises around every corner. A rose garden awaits walkers, who are sure to fall under the spell of the exceptional panorama: a view of the town of Tournon, the valley and the vineyards of Tain l'Hermitage, at the foot of which the Rhône meanders. EDEN PARK is not just a place for leisure but also a center for learning about sustainable practices and biodiversity. The garden's commitment to preserving the natural beauty of the area is reflected in its classification as a non-profit organization dedicated to environmental education and conservation.
