We\u2019re telling you this because after that, there\u2019s not much to say, but also because he studied in a place different from all the rest: at the Couvent des Minimes.<\/h5>\n<p>Founded in 1613, the convent welcomed the mendicant order of Minimes, and always placed plants and their study at the center of their vocation - after God, of course ... Therefore, it\u2019s legitimate that <strong>Louis Feuill\u00e9e<\/strong>, while there, wrote 2 treatises of botany; \u00a0and that the Franciscan Sisters of Mary, established in 1860, continue to cultivate the <strong>superb <em>restanque<\/em>\u00a0gardens<\/strong> and <strong>plant trees and vines<\/strong>. And the flower on the elderberry? When the convent was transformed into a <strong>Hotel and Spa<\/strong> in 2008, it began to offer natural treatments in a centuries-old place.<\/p>\n<p>Because yes, it rings a bell \"<strong>Le Couvent des Minimes<\/strong>,\" right? This is the name of the brand developed by <strong>L'Occitane<\/strong>, known for its <strong>beauty products<\/strong> prepared with the plants of the convent, according to ancestral recipes. From then on, the <strong>Spa L'Occitane du Convent<\/strong>, faithful to the spirit of the brand, offers gentle care based on essential oils and Proven\u00e7al ingredients, as well as traditional massages techniques that make you forget all your problems.<\/p>\n<p>Once done with your <strong>Proven\u00e7al break<\/strong> with verbena and honey accents, head towards the swimming pool (indoor or outdoor), the tennis court, the gym or the p\u00e9tanque field. Then, you will deserve a second break, gastronomic this time, at the starry <strong>restaurant Le Clo\u00eetre de J\u00e9r\u00f4me Roy<\/strong>. And you\u2019ll have a choice, either in the bistro with its sunny <strong>terrace overlooking a quiet Provence<\/strong>, or in the privacy of the wine cellar, to taste <strong>Proven\u00e7al<\/strong> specialties ..<\/p>\n<p>An intimate reality, a secret reality; Your reality.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sobarnes.com\/en\/beautiful-france\/barnes-beautiful-france-real-estate-agency\/\">Contact our real estate agency BARNES Beautiful France<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>His name was Feuill\u00e9e (which means \u201cleaves\u201d in French) and he was the botanist of Louis XVI.
