Bouillon, Natural spring in Parc Floral de la Source, France
Bouillon is a natural spring in the Parc Floral de la Source in Orleans, where water emerges from underground limestone pathways. The park contains different garden sections including areas devoted to roses, vegetables, and butterflies.
The spring was given to monks of Saint-Mesmin de Micy Abbey by Clovis in 510, marking the start of its recorded history. This early connection to religious communities laid the foundation for its development as an important place.
The spring is part of a park design that invites visitors into a natural setting enriched with art installations. The water flow and surrounding greenery create a space where nature and creativity meet.
The spring is observable throughout the year as you explore different park areas. The best time to visit is when weather is mild and the gardens are in bloom.
The spring feeds the Loiret River through a complex underground network of limestone formations. This geological feature makes the location an example of water moving through natural channels.
