La forme cylindrique est une des plus dure à réaliser en sculpture. Ici sur la représentation de Trèves, il y en a un magnifique exemple. Et en plus, la tour ne fait pas la même circonférence partout ! De quoi corser le travail du sculpteur !
Venez l'observer ainsi que nos autres sculptures à Pierre et Lumière !

During Antiquity, the Romans were fond of good things, especially wine. They were big consumers of it (in all social classes). The cultivation of the vine extended to the north of Gaul. This culture was quite special because they grew the vines in the shade. For this, they made it climb on fruit or ornamental trees. Clever and aesthetic!
Do not hesitate to come and see this unusual culture and discover our other gardens, a nice stroll awaits you at the Jardins du Puygirault! 🍇

Photos from the publication of Musée du Champignon - Pierre et Lumière - Jardins du Puygirault But what is this ! 😱 Don't be afraid, it won't hurt you! This weird mushroom is the shiny Ganoderne!
In nature, it grows in the fall, on dying trees. Culinary level, it cannot be cooked because it is too tough and bitter. On the other hand, it is widely used in Chinese medicine. It is widely consumed as an infusion, capsules and drops under the name "Reishi". It has been found to have a lot of therapeutic virtues: fortification of the body, stimulation of the immune system, anticancer, and many more. It is also believed to have an influence on IQ! In China, it is offered as a wedding gift (elixir of life, lucky charm). Women wear it as a brooch. Ladies, if you want an original gift, don't hesitate any longer!
The shiny ganoderne is one of the 15 species cultivated in our cellar. Come and discover it at the Mushroom Museum! 🍄

Here is the cloister of the Abbey of Fontevraud. It is one of the two sculptures representing the Abbey here at Pierre et Lumière. It is one of the most emblematic monuments of the region.
This one has something special. It was carried out by "show of hands". Indeed, no preparation possible on this one. Our sculptor worked inside the rock. A technical feat that requires no error and incomparable know-how. Professors of Fine Arts have also praised his work.
Come and discover it as well as our other sculptures at Pierre et Lumière!

Today and tomorrow July 18, we welcome Kati Chanson from 15 p.m. to 18 p.m. She will supervise our young visitors for an introduction to tufa sculpture (animation included in the entry price). As a bonus, today, you will be able to see the Patrouille de France pass around 17 p.m. ✈️😉

In the medicinal garden, plants with multiple properties are cultivated. Today, zoom on the Marshmallow.
The marshmallow (althaea officinalis) belongs to the Malvaceae family. We mainly use its roots.
In internal use, it calms irritating coughs or irritation of the throat (flu, bronchitis, asthma). It can also treat respiratory tract infections, urinary tract disorders and has a mild laxative effect.
In external use, it treats canker sores, abscesses, boils. It softens irritated skin and reduces rosacea.
But above all, how not to think of sweets! This soft and comforting treat takes its origin from this plant. It was made from the sticky components of the root, which were mixed with snow whites and sugar.
Nature is still well done! The marshmallow is one of the 1200 species of plants present at the Jardins du Puygirault. Come and discover them!

Photos from Emilie Monnet's post First visits between the drops in Saumur.
Saumur castle, a real princess castle.
And the stone and light troglodyte site Musée du Champignon - Pierre et Lumière - Jardins du Puygirault simply magical ... developed by an autodidact of miniatures carved in tufa stone ... the girls were able to sculpt their block with Cathy who transmitted his passion and knowing how to make a great moment full of exchanges and memories
Emilie Monnet feels cool.
