If you were to enter the chateau’s kitchen in late summer, you’d be met with the heavenly aroma of confiture de figues, bubbling away in copper pots on the stove. As sunshine bathes the orchard, a bounty of violet-blushed figs grow fat and sweet, destined for the pot or simply eaten straight from the tree they’re a family favorite. This design captures the delights of the potager and orchard: figs, grapes and peas united in a tribute to the abundance of the seasons.
