In the warm season, you should definitely visit the Park of Emmanuel Liais within the framework of the sightseeing tour.

Today, the main value of the park is magnificent cypresses aged over a hundred years. Another value is tiny ponds. A few years ago, there was a special indoor pavilion where rare plants were presented, so you can visit the park even in winter.

In a warm period, it is always decorated with interesting landscape attractions.
