Tours Botanical Garden

quiet and lively garden, beautiful stretch of water in the center

This preserved space is a paradise for ornithologists. Far from the traffic, the calm is distracted only by the solemn flow of the Loire and the beating of the wings of the herons surprised by your fortuitous appearance.

Between Loire and Cher, the botanical garden is a must in the city of Tours. The rich diversity of species that makes up its park makes this place the most complete garden in the city. Animal areas as well as a mini-farm open to the public increase its appeal tenfold. Wandering the paths of this green setting is not only a stroll for the body, but also an escape for the mind.

Built in 1872 on a former marshy area, the Prébendes d’Oé garden is the green lung of the city center of Tours. Designed like an English garden, it invites you to take a bucolic stroll. It also has the “Jardin Remarquable” label, awarded by the Ministry of Culture. On an area of 5 hectares, you travel to the four corners of the world. Poplars from Holland, hazel trees from Byzantium, tulip trees from Virginia and elms from Siberia adorn your route. A catering area, toilets and a water point are available in the park.

This is the menhir of the Val Joyous lake at Château la Vallière
