Bamboo Park in Prafranca

Bamboo Park is an exotic botanical garden located near the ancient city of Avignon. The road leading to the park winds among the mountain peaks. In 2008, the bamboo park in France received the status of a historical monument. Most of the plants were planted here in the XIX century.

In the park there is a palm alley, tulip trees brought from Virginia, magnolias, striking visitors with their size. There are many small and large reservoirs and artificially created waterfalls.
