ARBORETUM DU GRENOUILLET

Le Grenouillet, 34190 Gorniès

Created in the early 20th century by Charles Flahault, the Grenouillet Arboretum is a veritable living museum of trees. Nestled in the heart of the Vis Valley, it brings together tree species from a variety of regions and offers a pleasant walk.

Set amidst the unspoilt landscapes of the Vis Valley, the Grenouillet Arboretum stands as a remarkable testament to the forestry history of the Cévennes. Established in the early 20th century under the guidance of the botanist Charles Flahault, this experimental site was designed to study how different tree species adapt to local climatic and geological conditions. As they wander along the paths, visitors discover a wide variety of species native to Europe, North America and the Mediterranean basin. Cedars, sequoias, ginkgos, firs and many other trees make up this veritable open-air laboratory, where science, heritage and nature come together. Today, the arboretum offers a peaceful stroll through a shaded and unspoilt environment. It is an ideal place to observe the richness of the plant world, understand the challenges of reforestation in the Cévennes and enjoy an exceptional natural setting.
