Parc Bargoin, Public park in Chamalières, France
The 7.5-hectare park features 800 trees across 60 species, including ancient sequoias, Lebanon cedars, and a 250-year-old maple tree.
Jean-Baptiste Bargoin, a pharmacist who acquired the estate in 1868, donated the property to the Puy-de-Dôme department council upon his death in 1885.
The Tour des Deux Frères stands as a memorial structure within the park, commemorating the lives of Bargoin's sons who died from tuberculosis.
The park remains open daily throughout the year without admission fees, offering paths for walks and panoramic views over the surrounding landscape.
A collection of statues adorns the grounds, including La Semeuse by sculptor Jean Ossaye-Mombur and a representation of the Faun.
