Read moreIt is a pleasure to walk in this 76-hectare park with its undergrowth, a 17th century castle and its ponds. In the 19th century, many trees and plants were planted there thanks to the shoots brought back from across the Atlantic by the sailors. Some of these rare species are still the curiosity of passers-by. In 1973, the City of Saint-Herblain acquired the site and opened it to the public, while also welcoming lay associations and a theatrical nursery. From the undergrowth, you arrive at the edge of the ponds where a few fishermen cast their lines, then you walk along the lawns lined with hundred-year-old trees, before passing under the porch of the castle. A good breath of fresh air!
