At the foot of this Renaissance castle is a French-style garden of 20 hectares: green carpet lined with boxwood, a succession of terraces, alleys of lime trees. About twenty species of fruit trees and flowery meadows embellish the decor of this garden.
Laid out in the 18th century by the Colomès family, the Laréole Park was inspired by Le Nôtre’s recommendations. This French-style garden follows the principles of sweeping vistas, flowerbeds, grassy terraces and wooded areas. The layout of this garden has been enhanced by decorative features, notably three statues by the sculptor Marc Arcis.
A reconstruction of the park is now on display to the public through new plantings.
Please note:
Dogs are permitted in the park provided they are kept on a lead.
All year round, you have free access to the castle’s grounds, as well as its park and its 3 km walking trail.
