Clos du Peyronnet - Floating Glass


The Clos du Peyronnet is one of my favourite Menton gardens. It's privately owned but open to the public on occasion and you can arrange garden visits. The owner William Waterfield has recently installed these beautiful old demijohns in the lowest of the pools. They appear to float, don't they?

Le propriétaire, William Waterfield, a récemment installé ces belles vieilles dames-jeannes dans le bassin le plus bas.  Ne vous semble-t-il pas  qu'elles flottent?

    I love William's Clos du Peyronnet and his little dog Prickles. Truly one of the great gardens of Menton. I agree with you - the demijohns are brilliant addition.

    Looks really great. And thank you Jilly for teaching me the English name of the french dame-jeannes!
