The most beautiful parks and gardens Seine-Et-Marne

This is one of the oldest educational farms in the Ile-de-France region, founded in 1989 in the heart of Dammarie-les-Lys. The pretty ten-hectare park is that of the Château des Soubiran, now dedicated to animals and small crops. Ideally suited to teaching the very young, the farm offers a wide range of activities and workshops to help them discover the animals (over two hundred), their diet, their lifestyle and the upkeep of their enclosures, as well as the plants, fruit and vegetables in the kitchen and farm gardens.

Located a dozen kilometres east of Ferté-sous-Jouarre, this "remarkable" garden, elected "Garden of the Year" a few years ago, will delight families looking for a pleasant walk and amazing natural discoveries. Created by Françoise and Christian Bougnoux, true enthusiasts, it combines a park with beautifully landscaped plants (trees, flowers, flower beds), and a nursery, tea room, exhibition room, cathedral, patio, greenhouses, vegetable garden, "antique theatre", orchard, pond, walking path, etc., all in a totally rural atmosphere that must be enjoyed on sunny days. Garden lovers will also not remain insensitive to the shop offering many beautiful things for sale.

This magnificent 19th century bourgeois house, which belonged to a patron of the city, Victor Garnier, became the municipal library in 1880. Today it houses the old archives, i.e. those dating from before 1789, a rich written heritage, charters including that of Henry I the Liberal - 1176 -, illuminated manuscripts from the 12th, 14th and 15th centuries. The 8,000 square metre garden spreads out its flower beds and trees with rare species - royal ginkgo, Virginia tulip tree... - for a walk in the middle of scents.
