The Domaine du Rayol is a 20-hectare protected natural area owned by the Conservatoire du Littoral, comprising 13 hectares of scrubland and 7 hectares of gardens evocative of Mediterranean climates around the world, which can be visited every day, all year round.

Landscape architect Gilles Clément has designed Le Jardin des Méditerranées, a veritable invitation to travel through the world's Mediterranean landscapes, including those of California, Chile, South Africa, Australia, the Mediterranean Basin and the Canary Islands. You'll also discover landscapes with more arid or subtropical climates, such as those of Mexico, Asia, New Zealand and subtropical America.
