Labyrinthe de Merville

The green labyrinth extends over 5 hectares within the grounds of Merville Castle, featuring intricate paths formed by tall boxwood hedges.

The Marquis de Chalvet initiated the garden construction in 1743, creating a mathematical pattern that remains unchanged through the centuries.

The maze incorporates educational themes that change every two years, presenting different historical and scientific subjects through interactive stations.

Visitors receive a logbook to navigate through 6 kilometers of shaded pathways, with guided castle tours available at 11:30, 14:00, 15:30, and 17:00.

The garden contains the largest boxwood hedge maze in Europe, protected by 200-year-old oak trees that create natural shade throughout the paths.
