Public garden featuring 400 trees and a botanical trail with 17 panels explaining the different species.
Not very large but charming, the Bayeux public garden, often called the botanical garden, is the work of the landscape gardener Eugene Bühler, also the author of the Parc de la Tête d’Or in Lyon. Since the Second Empire, the garden of the 400 trees has not changed much; it has only accumulated ceremonial titles (classified as a historic monument, the weeping beech has been classified as a natural monument since 1932, and labelled as the "Remarkable tree of France in 2001"). The stroll allows you to discover remarkable trees, the famous beech, but also the tulip of Virginia or Chilean pine, a small greenhouse for cacti, and a basin where colourful carp evolve. A botanical circuit, punctuated by 17 explanatory panels, allows you to learn more about the different species that populate the garden. Do not hesitate to take children; there is a junior questionnaire planned to discover the garden with the family.
