Arboretum de l'Hort de Dieu, Botanical garden on Mont Aigoual, France.
The arboretum maintains 75 tree species from North America, Far East, Europe, Middle East, and North Africa at 1,300 meters elevation.
Georges Fabre and Charles Flahault established this experimental arboretum in 1902 to study plant adaptation and prevent excessive grazing impacts.
The name Hort de Dieu translates to Garden of God, reflecting the historical botanical research conducted since the 16th century.
Visitors can reach the arboretum through a hiking path from the Aigoual Observatory, with free admission throughout the year.
The 200-year-old beech tree called chourradou served as a shelter for local sheep, connecting botanical research with pastoral traditions.
