The Bamboo Grove in the Cévennes

Created in 1856 by Eugène Mazel, La Bambouseraie is classified as one of the most beautiful gardens in France. Here you'll find exceptional specimens of over a thousand varieties.

So don't wait any longer and come and admire all kinds of bamboos, as well as Japanese maples, camellias, Ginkgos biloba and hundred-year-old giant Sequoias, flowers...

The garden center, bamboo store and bamboo nack are open to the public.

Throughout the year, the Bambouseraie organizes nature events. See the agenda on the website.

New since 2023: "the quest for the Aleya flower".
A treasure hunt for families and friends to discover the Bambouseraie in a different way. It's a fun way to test your powers of observation and deduction. Visitors will learn all about the issues involved in preserving nature in the park.
