What to see in France

La Bambouseraie (Bamboo Grove)

 

La Bambouseraie en Cévennes located in Générargues near Anduze in the Gard, is a large "park-forest" of 15 hectares dedicated to bamboos.

Explore the Bamboo Park during your camping holiday

Unique in France for its size, the Parc-Forêt de la Bambouseraie is worth a visit: 1000 varieties of bamboo, trees and remarkable plants are represented and offer wonderful walks. In the shade or in the sun, it is a swirl of greens and yellows, and the paths often run along small canals fed by the Gardon. The murmur of the water, the brightness of the foliage and the rustle of the wind have a relaxing effect, like a Zen garden. Visitors also discover the uses of bamboo, a plant with countless virtues: very strong and flexible, it is used in Asia for building houses and scaffolding, and certain varieties are also used in food and for making clothes, baskets, musical instruments, etc. Finally, the Bamboo Grove also has redwoods, Chinese palms, magnolias, Japanese maples and other plants from the four corners of Asia, forming a wide palette of exotic scents.
