Palmito, Botanical garden in Ermenonville, France.
Palmito is a botanical garden in Ermenonville featuring multiple sections where palm species and local French plants are arranged in geometric patterns. The space combines formal garden design with natural landscape elements across its layout.
The garden was formed in the 18th century when it underwent major changes to blend French formal garden style with natural landscape features. This combination continues to shape how the place looks today.
The garden shows French gardening traditions through the way plants are chosen and arranged, demonstrating how people shape and care for nature over time.
Guided tours in French and English are available from April through October, with group visits possible for larger parties. The garden is best explored on foot at your own pace to see each section clearly.
Rare palm varieties survive here through specialized growing techniques, even though they would not normally thrive in northern France. This ability to cultivate tropical plants in a cooler climate is what sets the place apart.
