The most beautiful parks and gardens French Guiana

French Guiana deserved a real botanical garden. And now it's here: over 250 species of Guyanese orchids and 4,000 plant species make up this enchanted one-hectare garden. To get the most out of the place, it's essential to follow its master, Aurélien, to listen to his invaluable explanations and stories, which make the two hours you spend there a unique experience. The trail is accessible to people with reduced mobility. Accommodation available.

The Botanical Garden of Cayenne is a pleasant green space on the outskirts of Cayenne, which, despite the fact that it sometimes lacks a little maintenance, constitutes a very beautiful space for relaxation. Created in 1879 by the Conseil Général to replace, on a smaller scale, the Jardin Royal des Plantes created in 1820 by the colonial administration, this garden became the Baduel nursery, which was later abandoned due to insufficient yields from the eleven-hectare operation.

Now stretching over three hectares, the Jardin Botanique de Cayenne is the city's largest landscaped green space, and is dedicated to walking and relaxation. Plants of seemingly infinite shapes and colors line the countless paths and tracks, while educational totems set up here and there along the way tell you all about their origins.

Whether you're a Guianese resident or just passing through, you're sure to be amazed by the variety of plant species found here, starting with the ninety-nine different species in the palm family alone! Although not all of these species are represented in the botanical garden, you'll still be able to appreciate a fine sample. It should also be noted that the site is occasionally used as a backdrop for official events and other cultural festivals. A must for nature lovers!

Madame Louison's "Bois de Rose" botanical garden is a one-of-a-kind site where you can admire almost 600 species of plants, including the traveler's tree(ravenala), the ornamental banana(musa), the calabash, the croton, 150 orchids and palm trees. Don't forget to bring a picnic lunch so that, after a stroll along the lake, you can relax under the kiosk, a veritable haven of peace. A carbet has recently been added for overnight stays!
