The garden has no less than 10,000 living species and 50,000 flowers: this diversity has earned it the title of Remarkable Garden and makes it one of the largest botanical gardens in France.
Children will appreciate the garden's play areas, the twenty or so species of ducks living on site, as well as the goat pen (accessible in the morning).
