Come and discover the charms of Asia on a 34-stop tour of this 5-hectare park in harmony with unspoilt nature, set around a one-hectare pond.

This is an Anglo-Chinese-style family, natural and ecological park. The two designers are accompanied by two gardeners throughout the year. Along the way, lovers of flowers and plants from all over the world will be able to admire more than 2,500 varieties of plants from here and elsewhere (lotuses, water lilies, bamboos, hydrangeas, roses, fuchsias, camellias... rare shrubs and trees). All invitations to travel and daydream. Japan, Burma, China, Tibet, Java and Bali are just some of the places to discover.

In "La forêt de la Princesse Lune", children and adults are invited to solve the 36 riddles in the "Conte du Vieux Coupeur de Bambous". Japan is also in the spotlight at the belvedere, where the famous Japanese carp "koi nobori" float in the wind during certain events. Your Burmese star sign can be found at the "Celestial Kiosk" overlooking a rose garden, the orchard, the square gardens and the vegetable patch. 10 water lily and lotus ponds evoke the friendship between Georges Clemenceau and Claude Monet. Near the Chemin du Dragon, there is a permanent exhibition about Georges Clemenceau's trip to Ceylon, Java, Bali and Burma at the age of 80...

Explore the worlds of Java, Bali and Burma. In the Java garden, 4 replicas of the openwork stupas of Borobudur protect a large reclining Buddha. Bali: Around a lotus pond, the goddess Tara dominates a scene of Ganesh, the most popular divinity in India and Indonesia: he dances, plays music, reads poetry and protects children. The lesser-known world of Burma will delight you. An alley lined with small temples dedicated to protective spirits leads to the Golden Pagoda, home to a large marble Buddha overlooking an octagonal pool. You can also visit Place des Ogres to discover another of Mandalay's small temples and the refreshment area, which is open on certain days during the summer.

Mont Lenigo

LE CROISIC

This mound is also made from the ballast from the ships; it gets its name from the Breton ‘Leni goz’ which means ‘little ponds’ in
