Traveler reviews
Laura F.
★★★★★a year agoThis is a pretty Botanical Garden with an array of plants. My favourite was the water plants. I have seen better ones but being free I was impressed with the variety. It's worth the visit if in the Bastide!
Pierre Dubois
★★★★★4 months agoReally nice spot for a relaxing walk in Bordeaux. The gardens are well maintained and peaceful, with a good variety of plants and little areas to sit and unwind. It’s not huge, but perfect for a short visit or break from the city. Would’ve liked a bit more to explore, but still definitely worth a stop 👍
