Beautiful 5-hectare wooded garden, right in the city center of Clermont-Ferrand.
The work to develop this garden, begun in 1863, under the aegis of Henri Lecoq, professor of mineralogy and botany, was completed in 1909.
Covering an area of 5 hectares, it is today a beautiful green space in the heart of the city, decorated with a large pond, a rose garden and sculpted groups. In the axis of the footbridge is placed the door of the Château de Bien-Assis, the only vestige of the family home of Blaise Pascal.
