Arboretum de la Pipe Qui Fume

The Arboretum de la Pipe Qui Fume extends across 4 hectares within the Forêt Domaniale des Hazelles, featuring deep ravines with slopes reaching 35 percent gradients.

The National Society of Natural History of Ardennes established this botanical collection in 1996, leading to its integration into the National Forest Office network.

The garden maintains collections of native trees including ash and maple, alongside perennial plants and ferns that represent the regional botanical heritage of Ardennes.

Visitors can access the arboretum every day without entrance fees, with guided tours available through the National Forest Office upon request.

The garden incorporates former Gedinnian shale quarries, creating a specific geological environment that supports distinct vegetation adapted to local conditions.
