TAVEL , Gard – Cultural heritage
About
These gardeners still contribute today to shape this pretty piece of landscape between Occitania and Provence, while chatting with friends over the small walls!
In the Middle Ages, the name “Condamine” referred to some lands that were directly put in culture by a lord, amongst those from the lord’s property. After the French Revolution, the gardens were divided between the farmers who were then able to farm them as they wished. The low walls made of grey stone were built according to the Provençal tradition and symbolised this first sense of property amongst the villagers, while protecting the crops from the wind and avid goats! More than a memory from our local history, the Condamine Gardens are first of all a lively part of our heritage, and they continue to bring the inhabitants of Tavel together, who still farm the parcels out of passion for botany and gardening!
