Parc Floral de la Source

Parc Floral de la Source is a sprawling 35-hectare botanical park located at the southern edge of Orléans. It is built around the natural spring that gives birth to the Loiret River, a short tributary of the Loire. The park is divided into numerous themed gardens, including a Japanese garden, a rose garden, and a Mediterranean garden, each meticulously designed to showcase diverse plant species. Visitors can stroll along winding paths, cross wooden bridges over the clear spring water, and relax in the tranquil atmosphere. The park also houses a small animal park with goats, sheep, and birds, making it a family-friendly destination. Its status as a Jardin Remarquable reflects its horticultural excellence and historical significance. Whether you are a botany enthusiast or simply seeking a peaceful escape, the park offers a rich experience of nature and design.
