These unusual trees inspire amusement or wonder with their colours, shapes and scents. They were brought back to France two centuries ago by the famous Vilmorin family from their voyages across Asia and America. The 2 500 species planted on 35 hectares form one of the world's biggest collections. You will receive a warm welcome and enjoy a charming visit. The place is designed for a family visit, and various events are held from spring though to autumn. A new area with trees and shrubs to find just the right plant for you.
