Arberotum of Versailles-Chèvreloup of bucolic atmospheres in Rocquencourt, offering a free visit to its 3 additional sectors
A site managed by the National Museum of Natural History, the Chèvreloup Arboretum, newly renamed the Arboretum of Versailles-Chèvreloup, is an exceptional site with more than 2,500 species and varieties of trees and is home to one of the richest collections of trees in Europe. Adjacent to the Park of Versailles, it offers the public an excellent support for nature awareness. Visitors will now be able to discover 200 hectares of landscaped natural space. They will be able to familiarize themselves with its three additional sectors during an open visit: the biogeographical zones of Asia and America, and, around a 1.5 ha pond, the horticultural zone (27 ha) presenting nearly 500 varieties of trees selected by man. This geological and morphological diversity enlivens the arboretum with bucolic atmospheres that are highly appreciated by all botanical enthusiasts. Among the emblematic places, visitors will be able to stroll through the meadow of Japanese cherry trees, admire the planting of dwarf conifers, or get lost in the Lawsons maze (wandering among conifers with colourful foliage). You can bring your dog, but only on a leash. The Arboretum is a wildlife protection area.
