Jardin botanique de Gondremer, Private botanical garden in Vosges, France.
The garden extends over two hectares within a forested valley, containing 4,000 plant species including 1,000 rhododendrons and azaleas in natural settings.
Michel and Gisèle Madre established the garden in 1974, transforming a marshy valley into cultivated land with initial plantings completed by 1975.
The French Ministry of Culture designated this garden as a Jardin Remarquable due to its exceptional botanical collections and landscape design.
The garden opens during flowering seasons on weekend afternoons, with guided visits available by appointment and admission fees of 10 euros for adults.
The garden maintains three certified collections: Kalmia as National Collection, plus Japanese maples and botanical rhododendrons as Approved Collections.

In Strasbourg, each step crosses several centuries of history. You walk from medieval alleys lined with half-timbered houses to glass buildings housing European institutions. The cathedral, 142 meters high, has dominated the city since the Middle Ages, while modern structures along the Rhine reflect the city’s European role. The sound of bells blends with tram noise, and the smell of gingerbread drifts through the contemporary administrative districts.
The Grand Est displays a rich architectural and military heritage, from fortified structures like the Fort of Mutzig and the La Ferté ouvrage on the Maginot Line, to princely residences such as Château de Lunéville with its French gardens. The region also preserves religious sites like the Abbey of Sturzelbronn in the Vosges forests and the Jesuit College in Reims, founded in the early 17th century. Urban centers feature notable architectural complexes: the Kammerzell House in Strasbourg exemplifies 15th-century Alsatian half-timbered construction, while the Ducal Square in Charleville-Mézières reflects Renaissance urban planning. The Humanist Library in Sélestat holds over 150 medieval manuscripts and ancient books. Technical sites like the old Chappe telegraph tower in Saverne recall early communication history before the electric era. Historic parks, including that of Château de Pange with geometric gardens and stone bridges, offer pathways through centuries of landscape design.
