Discover a Green Oasis

Visit the “secret” garden of the Hospitallers of Saint-Joseph’s monastery in the heart of the city. This true oasis of peace and nature is tucked behind an imposing stone wall. Discover the garden’s history, from its beginnings as agricultural land in 1861 to the leisure garden that it is today. During the tour, you will also learn about the history of the Hôtel-Dieu heritage buildings.
