Porch of climbing plants - in this corner, where there is shade and coolness, calmness and relaxation, on the walls is a collection of relief images of leaves and fruits on a clay tile, signed print Braille. Creepers covered cloister, and provide the necessary shade.

Porch creates a shadow, as well as supports the curly bushes. Honeysuckle, jasmine, wisteria - all these kinds of fragrant flowers cover the gallery.

We have five senses: hearing, sight, taste, touch, smell. Take away one of them, the world will be much less. Hearing in the garden of five senses in Nantes - is the sound of footsteps on different coverages and noise of leaves, the sound of water (The musical fountain), the birds singing. Vision - is the shadow and light (indoor galleries of climbing plants, sundial). Paint flowers and foliage, volumes and silhouettes, the change of seasons. Taste - it's cool water, small fruit. Touch - this is different soils and vegetation. Sundials are arranged in such a way that you can feel the different temperatures depending on the time. Tiles for the convenience of the definition of leaves on their relief. The information written in Braille. And finally the sense of smell - is a resinous smell of conifers, shrubs, fragrant scents of flowers (piggy smell). Back in 1618, William Lawson, wrote: 'Can not find an orchard that will delight your eyes, what will delight your ears that you enjoy the taste and what would be nice to your sense of smell ?..'.
