Jardin insolite du centre hospitalier Georges Mazurelle

A walk in the heart of nature and biodiversity

The grounds of the Georges Mazurelle Hospital Centre offer a pleasant 4-kilometre walk, ideal for nature lovers. This botanical trail, with more than 50 plant species, invites you to discover areas dedicated to the vegetation of Europe, Asia and America, while exploring the diversity of the surrounding forest.

This original initiative is the fruit of collaboration between the green spaces department and the medical and administrative teams. Beyond the apprehension often associated with the world of psychiatry, you'll discover a park full of trees where plants and buildings blend harmoniously, creating a soothing setting. The park has been designed with particular attention to the needs of patients, offering an environment conducive to relaxation and contemplation.

Since 2010, the park has been managed using an eco-responsible approach, with differentiated management that excludes the use of plant protection products. This approach has been reinforced by the signing of an agreement with the Ligue pour la Protection des Oiseaux (LPO), which has given the park the status of "LPO refuge", making it a place where biodiversity can be preserved.

In partnership with the LPO, the park has become a sanctuary for several species of birds, offering visitors the chance to observe exceptional flora and fauna. Although partially accessible to pushchairs, the park is a great opportunity to reconnect with nature, while discovering an unspoilt setting.

Limited accessThe park is only accessible during certain special events, such as the Heritage Days, offering a unique opportunity to discover and enjoy its charms.

Come and lose yourself in the beauty of this park and let yourself be enchanted by the tranquillity and rich biodiversity it harbours!
