A town rich in flowers

THE GARDENS

Jardin de la Retraite : Entrance by rue Elie Fréron or rue des Douves. The region benefits from a mild climate with is an opportunity to acclimate species which apart from being oceanic are also exotic. This garden is a must for the lovers of palm trees. It is very unusual to see so much vegetal diversity in such a small public garden : Mediterranean, austral species and palm trees grow in abundance.

Jardin du Théâtre : entrance on the side of Théâtre Max Jacob, boulevard Dupleix.

Jardin des Remparts : next to the Cathedral.

Jardin du Prieuré : près de l'église de Locmaria
