The Parc Oriental of Maulévrier, a garden for walking and transformation, opens its doors to you. Be ready for a few surprises from its exotic setting which celebrates nature in every season. Taste the serenity of a place whose landscapes, history and atmosphere are an invitation to travel. Individuals can visit the site on their own and groups can book a guided tour. With family or friends, in daytime or by night, enjoy this unique place.
The garden was created by Alexandre Marcel, a famous orientalist architect, between 1899 and 1912, and restored in the early 1980’s. In 1987, it was acknowledged as a typical stroll garden of the Edo Period by three Japanese experts.
The Parc Oriental of Maulévrier has been managed since 1982 by an association (law of 1901) which counts about a hundred volunteers who support the work of the staff.
The permanent team of employees is made up of about twenty professionals, including 8 gardeners. Supplemented by numerous seasonal workers, they welcome visitors, maintain the garden, organise events and create new projects.
Un des plus grands rendez vous du bonsaï en France.
