Once inside the Botanic Garden, feel free to take your time and go at your own pace. The Garden does not close until 11pm.

The walking tour is about 3,5 kilometres long. You choose your own pace. Take your time to fully experience the magical atmosphere.

Yes, for all, for romantic walkers, groups of friends, families… The whole trail is extremely suitable for children and accessible for wheelchair users. You also go through the Plant Palace.

You want to enjoy the enchanting atmosphere. Bear in mind that the roads of the domain can be muddy. Walking shoes or rubber boots are therefore a good idea, as are warm clothes. Don't forget your umbrella if it rains.

During the walk you can take a break at our KAWA bar for a hot chocolate, mulled wine or gin.
