Jardin de la Perrine
Jardin de la Perrine, Public botanical garden in central Laval, France
Jardin de la Perrine is a botanical garden in central Laval that blends French and English landscaping styles across approximately 4.5 hectares. The grounds are organized into distinct sections with rose gardens, ponds, and tree-lined pathways that guide visitors through the space.
The municipality of Laval acquired the land in 1885 after the original owner lost it due to gambling debts. The garden was subsequently established in 1920 and became a public green space for the community.
The garden holds a memorial to painter Henri Rousseau, featuring an autograph poem by Guillaume Apollinaire carved into stone. This inscription connects the place to early twentieth-century artistic circles and their influence on the region.
The garden is open daily for visitors, with varying hours depending on the season. The pathways are well-marked throughout the grounds, making navigation straightforward for all visitors.
A former orangerie building has been converted into an exhibition hall that hosts rotating displays. Two aviaries within the garden house collections of exotic birds and pigeons that add life to the grounds.
