Parc and botanical garden "La Bambouseraie"

Immerse yourself in an exotic world surrounded by the Cevennes! The botanical garden covers 12 hectares and was created in memory of the exotic travels of the silk- and seed trader Eugene Mazel in 1856 to Anduze. In 1902, the Bambouserie passed its ownership over to the Negre family. The Bambouserie is a unique place of extravagance with over 100 cultivated, mostly tropical plants that have grown over the years to unbelievable size and beauty. The botanical garden "La Bambouseraie" is an ideal trip to the cooler microclimate on hot days. Young and old alike are invited to an impressive journey from Laos via the USA to Japan. Impressions such as fantastic fragrances, rare and enchanting flowers, large and rare trees, as well as various bamboo species are most appreciated.
Since the release of the first seedlings by Eugene Mazel and today's magnificent botanical garden more than 150 years have passed. Ever since renowned botanists have contributed to today's biodiversity. Nevertheless, the fruits of each cultivation only can be considered years later. The park enjoys uninterrupted popularity for generations. Every decade one plant is in its focus. In the 70s, it was the Amaranth, followed by the Fuchsias in the 80’s and from the 90s to the present the focus is on the Orchids.
