Near the station, Chalucet brings together a library, colleges and contemporary buildings on a former hospital site. Take a break in Jardin Alexandre-Ier, once the navy’s botanical garden. It opened to the public in 1825 and includes a bald cypress planted in 1797.
More about your visit
The district brings together educational and cultural institutions around the garden. Some doors lead to schools or workplaces, not tourist entrances.
Jardin Alexandre-Ier predates Chalucet’s recent transformation. The Culture Ministry describes a water route and themed gardens.
The library is a public point of interest, subject to opening hours and service conditions. The Museum of Art and Hôtel des Arts complement this outing in the upper town.
The public garden occupies the Navy’s former botanical garden, which opened to the public in 1825. Plants are grouped by their uses, including citrus, food and textile production, with labels to help identify them. The Ministry of Culture highlights a bald cypress planted in 1797 among the notable trees. The garden received the Jardin remarquable label in 2023.
