Product description

In recent years, the Domaine national de Chambord has returned to its agricultural vocation by creating a market garden. The former stables of Louis XIV, which became military barracks and a vegetable garden in the following centuries, have been home to organic vegetable gardens since 2019, covering more than five hectares. Some fifty varieties of fruit, vegetables and aromatic herbs are grown there in a permacultural approach, with the intention of awakening people to the protection of the environment and to healthy eating.

Perfume developed with a perfumer in Grasse. Our perfumes are CMR-free (carcinogenic, mutagenic and toxic to reproduction).

Domain note

THE CHAMBORD VEGETABLE GARDENS

After a successful first phase of the project with the creation of a plot within the Maréchal de Saxe stables (5,000 m²) in 2019, the vegetable gardens are investing in a new five-hectare plot to extend and diversify production.

The Chambord vegetable gardens are implemented in an entrepreneurial spirit. They are part of a process of exploiting the riches of the estate. Chambord is developing its natural resources in order to diversify its resources.

Within the framework of this permaculture approach, more than forty varieties of vegetables are produced, following a cultivation system that allows increased yields to be obtained on small surfaces and with a minimum of mechanisation. This profitability is made possible by a well thought-out, ergonomic and standardised landscape architecture, combined with low-tech tools and good soil fertility management. Careful attention to every dimension of vegetable and fruit production gives the vegetables exceptional flavours, nutrients, colours and textures. The vegetable gardens have received organic certification and the AB label on 4 July 2019.
