Parc Raymond-Sibille, Antony, Botanical garden in Antony, France.
Parc Raymond-Sibille is a botanical garden in Antony featuring diverse tree species such as cedars, purple beeches, and rare Judea trees spread throughout the grounds. The garden displays these species in their natural arrangement, allowing visitors to observe different growth patterns and forms.
The grounds originate from the 17th century and were later managed by surgeon Alfred Velpeau during the 19th century. The location transitioned to public green space in the early 2000s.
The park serves as a place where visitors can engage with nature and learn about plant relationships through observation. Educational panels scattered throughout encourage people to notice how different trees interact with insects and seasonal changes.
The garden is accessible daily, with extended hours during summer and reduced hours in winter. Visitors can enter from multiple points, particularly via Rue Maurice Labrousse and Avenue Léon Blum.
A notable sculpture titled 'Grain de pollen' rises above an herb garden within the grounds. A dedicated trail guides visitors along this installation to learn about pollination and its role in plant reproduction.
