Entrance to the park which is hardly visible from the road. With its 29ha, it is the largest Japanese-inspired park in Europe which can be visited through the ticket office. Originally, this garden was part of the outbuildings of the neighboring Château Colbert. The estate was bought by the Bergère family at the end of the 19th century. The son-in-law of the family, Alexandre MARCEL, a famous orientalist architect, converted the park into a Japanese landscape, notably using molds and pieces from the 1900 Universal Exhibition in which he participated.
