The colours change with the seasons as tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, camellias, rhododendrons, hydrangeas, chrysanthemums and heather come into bloom, not to mention the splendid colours of the perennials and the leaves of the trees!
As you walk through the this haven of greenery you will also seean area of wetland vegetation where bamboos, petasites (also commonly known as butterburs) and Japanese azaleas bloom, as well as the source of the Loiret, a tributary of the Loire, bubbling up to the surface right here before your eyes after flowing forty kilometres underground!
 

Enjoy the recreation areas designed for families and the lawns for picnicking, or take a trip on a surrey bike or little train... Children will love watching the many animals in the park and marvel at the species in the butterfly house, where beautiful exotic specimens flutter freely in the midst of lush vegetation!
