L’Orangerie de ROUILLAC
White
Fascinated by green and tropical plants, Haussmann became one of the first members of the horticultural and agricultural societies of the Gironde and took a keen interest in the art of gardening. To feed his passion, he built the Orangerie de Rouillac, where he grew citrus fruits, tropical species as well as roses and lilacs.
