Description
Created in 1761 by the French East India Company, the garden, previously known as the "Jardin du Roy", housed plants that had just been introduced to the island. Take a refreshing walk around its alleys and basins, in the shade of the Caribbean royal palms, and see rare species such as talipots, which bloom every 50 to 100 years, a hevea - the only one on the island -, a gourd tree and a sausage tree. Note also the busts of Pierre Poivre and Joseph Hubert, who introduced fruit and spices on the island.
