Jardin de la Perrine, Public botanical garden in central Laval, France

Jardin de la Perrine is a botanical garden along the river Mayenne on the Allée Adrien-Bruneau in Laval, made up of a French garden and a second English-style rose garden with about a hundred rose varieties. Its plantings include some twenty camellias, Cedrus atlantica and Cedrus libani, a Ginkgo biloba, a holm oak, a giant sequoia and an allée of large-leaved lindens 120 to 130 years old. A duck pond, aviaries of exotic birds and pigeons, and an orangerie now used as an exhibition hall stand among the beds.

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 runs along the river Mayenne on the Allée Adrien-Bruneau, and entry is free every day of the week. It is divided into a French-style garden and a separate English-style rose garden, so allow time to walk from one to the other. The orangerie now serves as an exhibition hall.

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.
