The Arboretum, a green setting
More than just an arboretum, this is an exceptional place!
A unique and precious place, where a few hundred-year-old trees have found refuge. Covering 11 hectares, this geographically exceptional balcony overlooks the Salanque plain. It is home to a veritable conservatory of rare plants. Over 500 Mediterranean and exotic species are maintained by a team of volunteers.
A place to enjoy with the whole family, discover the explanatory panels along the way to learn a little more about plants.
Guided tours are organized during the summer months
An organic water garden
Admire the aquatic bio-pool!
During the summer months, visitors can discover numerous water lilies and lotuses. Papyrus and many other wetland plants can also be seen in the underwater section.
Don't miss the giant Victoria Regia water lily, whose flowers are a sight to behold. Its leaves can reach up to 1.5 m in diameter!
A remarkable xerophytic garden
A collection of around a hundred cacti and desert plants are grouped together in the Xerophytic Garden. Remarkably large plants offering an almost infinite palette of colors!

In May, when cherries are in season, in June and July for apricots, peaches and nectarines, and in September when figs are ripe. A feast of just-picked fruit
