The Remarkable Tree label of the A.R.B.R.E.S association was awarded in 2008 for all the trees of the park. Let’s meet some spectacular trees!
The lime tree cordata, the purple beech and the oak
Lime cordata and its boxwood crown
After walking along a few conifers, Sitka spruce, Atlas blue cedars and Himalayan pines, the path, punctuated by hackberry trees and yew trees that form green buttresses along the wall, leads the visitor to a mound on which sits a majestic lime tree surrounded by a triple crown of boxwood.
The purple beech
A few meters further on, on the right, a purple beech has blossomed.
The oak
Further on, a large oak, which has lost its twin to the drought of the last three years, stands like an immutable sentinel, introducing the walker to a new landscape, followed by two twin purple beeches.
Along the way... The giants of the park
Lawson cypress
The eye is drawn to a giant Lawson cypress, an opening allows you to enter a plant cathedral that covers 300 m2 on the ground! The tree has a central trunk and seven lateral trunks formed by “suckering” roots.
One of the largest sequoias in France
Then dominates the giant sequoia with its 45 m height and its 10.70 m circumference, one of the most imposing in France.
Tulip tree of Virginia
Near the pond, the bald cypress has intertwined its top with the branches of a large American oak. Then the eye is drawn to a tulip tree of Virginia, one of the oldest of the park.
Some original trees around the pond
The 5 lime trees and the larch
The walk ends with a bunch of five lime trees with small and large leaves, not far from an old European larch, another oldest tree of the park.
Purple beech
The purple beech, unfortunately senescent, overhangs different species of alders (glutinous, imperial and cordata).
