The Jardins de Colette in Varetz invite you to combine literature and botany. It was in the elegant château of Castel Novel that the writer, renowned for her love of nature, lived with her husband. Are you ready? As well as the superb gardens, a butterfly-shaped labyrinth will make you lose your compass. Once you're free, you can enjoy a family picnic amongst the trees and have fun with the XXL-sized games. Not to mention the Halloween entertainment...
