The Bamboo Plantation is here not only to let you discover, learn about and appreciate just bamboo, but all vegetal life. Run by a management that thinks that a botanical garden is not just a collection of rare plants, the Bambouseraie brings together people, facilitates exchanges, crossing cultures and linking knowledge. In this spirit, the Bambouseraie welcomes artists whose works are often inspired by vegetation. Since 1977, many sculptors, painters and Land Art artists have exhibited their works along the paths and in the clearings of the Bamboo Plantation.
