Domaine de Poulaines : Jardins et arboretum

Come and discover the shimmering colors of our thousand flowers and essences, feel the freshness of our streams and waterways, and rediscover the simple pleasure of tasting the softness of the grass beneath your feet. Enjoy a fun-filled visit with the whole family, thanks to our game booklets!
In the heart of a 25-hectare wooded park, the Domaine de Poulaines, a seigniorial estate mentioned as early as 1340, is made up of marvellous gardens and an arboretum.

Magnificent century-old trees and boxwoods surround a Renaissance manor house and its outbuildings.
For over 30 years, we've been bringing this unspoilt site back to life by restoring the buildings and creating themed gardens over 5 hectares, based on 18th and 19th century descriptions and species.
The park's sculptures will guide your steps to the bend in a path where horses and sheep graze peacefully.
On the tenant farm side, you'll find a boutique selling handcrafted items made for the estate, and a tea room opposite the bouquetier garden where you can sample fruit juices from the orchard, honey from our bees and home-made pastries.
The gardens have been awarded a Michelin star and the Prix coup de coeur EBTS.
They are part of the Route des Iris (May).
Exhibition: Berry birds and their songs
