The garden
Dernières Vendanges pays tribute to the vineyards of the Southern Alps, which almost disappeared after the phylloxera outbreak (end of the 19th century). Yet the vine was inextricably linked to the high-altitude villages. Its cultivation has been part of a centuries-old tradition, since a typically mountainous vineyard in terms of climate and soil had developed. By using the motifs of the stakes supporting the vines and rearranging them, a pattern has been devised to offer infinite perspectives, as well as multiple plays of light and shadow that will allow the visitor's body to become part of the space as he moves through the garden. As the vine is without doubt the archetype of nature domesticated by man, this garden has been designed to be very geometric. The multiplicity of viewpoints will create a changing horizon, providing the visitor with all the individuality of the southern Alpine landscape.

Alexis CAMPAGNE is a landscape designer and graduate of the École Nationale Supérieure de Paysage de Versailles. In early 2022, he met Antoine MARECHAL, a graduate of the École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Marne-la-Vallée. Accustomed to working freelance, they are now keen to combine their skills on an ad hoc basis, which will be the case for the first time as part of the 2023 Côte d'Azur Garden Festival.
