Foothills Garden

The apse of Saint-Étienne Cathedral, long hidden from view, now offers the public its majestic buttresses in a green setting. The Jardin des Contreforts (Foothill Garden) uniquely blends the evocation of the Middle Ages with a touch of modernity, where plants inspired by a herb garden harmoniously coexist with metal wattle fences and grassy ramps. As Toul is located on the Way of St. James, its Jardin des Contreforts (Foothill Garden) features plants frequently encountered by pilgrims, such as Betula pendula (common birch) and Salvia sclarea (clary sage)!
