On the heights of the village of Eze, we will witness the birth of a subtropical garden clinging to the rock. ✋A Max of Heritage and Discoveries ???? https://bit.ly/49wwHx5 ???? Subscribe! ???? A team of gardeners takes on a challenge, because here there are no roads, all the plants must arrive by air or on the backs of men. At Cap Martin, we will push open the doors of some of the most beautiful villas in the Mediterranean, such as the Villa Zamir, hidden in its green setting. It was for a long time the property of the banker Albert Kahn. Thanks to the archive films of the Kahn Foundation, we will discover the atmosphere of this protected peninsula, at the very beginning of the 20th century. On Cap Mortola, on the Italian border, we will follow the curators of the Hanbury garden. Created in 1860 by a wealthy Englishman, it is considered the first acclimatization garden of the Riviera and still today shelters more than seven thousand species of plants. Finally, further west, in the country of Grasse, we will witness the picking of the famous May roses. For generations, the Mul family has cultivated plants that are used in the composition of the greatest perfumes in the world, such as Chanel's "number 5". A film by Jacques Plaisant A TSVP production
