Monvilliers, the capital of asparagus

The property is located in Monvilliers, which is part of the district of Denonville (post code 28700 for the GPS). In the 19th century, this tiny village was known throughout Europe for the quality of its asparagus . Indeed, a certain Mr. Perrot, who had a passion for botany, found a wild asparagus root while walking in the valley of Voise in 1792. He took it and cultivated it with love... Very soon the garden was no longer large enough to hold all of his production, which was very popular. Madame la Marquise de Vernon, the owner of the nearby castle, decided to send some asparagus of Monvilliers to Louis XVIII. The king was very flattered and liked it a lot. So in 1845, the landscape was covered with fields of asparagus, which were sold to honnor the best tables of France and Europe.
