This botanical garden is a perfect outing in good weather and rainy weather, as you can enjoy a tropical climate in the greenhouses. Lovers of plants or neophytes, everyone will find, in the rarity, multiplicity and beauty of the specimens presented material to be amazed. It is still one of the most beautiful collections in the world! Guided tours are available and explanatory panels provide a wealth of fascinating information, both on amazing natural phenomena and on conservation work.

Glasshouses are a visit in the tour. Their access is not free, unlike the rest of the park, but they are worth discovering. There are 10 of them, each corresponding to a climatic zone and specific species. 10 rooms, 10 climates (hot!), 10 floristic universes! We discover with happiness, a splendid garden of water lilies, an incredible collection of orchids, carnivorous plants, succulent plants... The design of the premises is also interesting, since the greenhouses were built between 1834, in a pre-Victorian style, and 1967, with a more classical and wise simplicity.

Exhibitions are also presented in free access, in the building that hosts you. You will be able to discover photo exhibitions, artists' exhibitions and interactive playgrounds working to raise awareness of the environment. Finally, the Garden offers regular thematic activities throughout the year.

Un endroit super pour une balade en famille et pour se ressourcer à l'écart de la ville. L'endroit est parfaitement entretenu, une immensité d' espèces de plantes bien conservée. La serre victorienne est un chef d'œuvre architecturale. A ne pas manquer quand il fait beau.

Très bel endroit, calme et reposant. La visite est assez longue si on veut tout voir.

un très beau jardin avec plusieurs zones reproduisant différentes régions du globe
mais un peu excentré, si vous êtes pressé ce n'est pas la visite la plus indispensable, si vous avez le temps de flâner c'est agréable
