Jardin de la Perrine
Jardin de la Perrine, Public botanical garden in central Laval, France
The 4.5-hectare garden combines French and English landscaping styles with distinct sections featuring rose gardens, ponds, and tree-lined paths.
The municipality of Laval acquired the land in 1885 from an owner who lost it to gambling debts, leading to the garden's creation in 1920.
The garden contains a memorial dedicated to painter Henri Rousseau, displaying an autograph poem written by Guillaume Apollinaire on stone.
The garden opens at 8:00 AM daily, with closing times varying from 5:30 PM in winter to 8:30 PM during summer weekends.
An orangerie building has been transformed into an exhibition hall, while two aviaries house collections of exotic birds and pigeons.
