The Yves Rocher Foundation has been supporting Royaumont Abbey for over a decade. This abbey was established by Saint Louis in the 13th century. After its role as a monastery, textile factory, village and novitiate training centre, the abbey became a major centre for debate and discussion in the 20th century for several generations of French and international intellectuals working in human sciences and music. It then evolved into a centre for research, training and internationally renowned artistic productions.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Wandering down the garden path<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

It all began in 2004, when the FondationRoyaumont decided to create medieval-inspired gardens, drawing on the ways in which gardeners in the Middle Ages used to observe, nurture, select and propagate their plants. This resulted in the Jardin des 9 Carr\u00e9s.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

This garden showcases a new collection of plants every three years in a bid to explore one aspect of the complex relationships between humans and nature. These exhibitions are designed and put together by Dam\u00e9e, Vallet&Associ\u00e9sPaysagistes. The first exhibition focused on the plants cultivated by Hildegarde of Bingen, a famous medieval saint and philosopher. In 2007, the garden served up a colourful journey into the world of plant-based dyeing from the Middle Ages to the present day. The theme for 2010 was the magic of plants, while 2013\u2019s \u2018signs and emblems\u2019 collection was an invitation to reflect on how plant symbolism has been incorporated into our culture, and continues to thrive today. In 2016, visitors were whisked away \u2018From East to West\u2019, discovering the meanderings that took plants across entire continents in the Middle Ages. With talks and storytelling tours available for adults and children alike, we strongly encourage you to go and have a look for yourselves!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
