A Prince



 

Louis Albert de Broglie has inherited from his illustrious family the prestigious title of « Prince » and a genealogical tree including marshals, writers, a 'President du Conseil' (Prime Minister) and a Nobel Prize winner.

The Prince decides then to become a gardener.and never takes off his apron!

To share his passion and his art of living, Louis Albert de Broglie founds from 1995 the brand representing elegance in the Art of Gardening. He gives it his surname: « Le Prince Jardinier. ».
His collections of tools and clothes reflect his taste for quality objects, nice materials and natural fibres.

 

Pruners and watering-cans seduce those who love Nature and are presented in the most elegant shops in the world.

Ever since, the Prince also imagines country clothes, bags, hats and accessories for the fire place and picnics, plates and dishes.…

The Prince Jardinier coat of arms

Faithful to his origins, Louis Albert de Broglie drew inspiration from his family coat of arms to imagine that of le Prince Jardinier. The straw hat replaces the ducal crown and the crown of the Holy Roman Empire surmounts miniature garden fork and shovel replacing the Saint Andrew cross. The coat of arms, engraved on a brass plate or delicately embroidered, appears on all the products of the Prince Jardinier range.
