This park visited by Voltaire, friend of Lord Bolingbroke, was completely altered for the International Floral festivals of 1967. Since 1995, the department of Loiret and the town of Orleans joint owners carry out its restoration. Charm of a walk in the gardens of ferns, pinks and dahlias under centenaries oaks. Strange discovery of the mysterious source of Loiret dominated by the Large Birdcage, elegant and of an innovative architecture. Pictorial emotion in front of the delicate pallet of 700 irises classified as a " National Collection " and joined together in a contemporary garden. Circling ballet of hundreds of butterflies coloured in the greenhouse with the tropical butterflies.
