Arboretum des Grandes Bruyères

The arboretum features grass paths leading through sections of pink, white, and lilac heather, encompassing 14 hectares with 7000 trees from worldwide regions.

The gardens received the distinction of 'Jardin Remarquable' in 2004, recognizing their contribution to botanical conservation and environmental preservation in the Loire region.

The garden maintains seven classified collections of plants, including specimens that no longer exist in their countries of origin, serving as a vital conservation center.

Adult admission costs 12.50 euros, while children between 6 and 12 years pay 6 euros, with the site remaining open from March 15 through autumn.

The arboretum contains separate Chinese and American sections, displaying specific tree species from these regions alongside a traditional zen garden with water lilies.
