Arboretum de Chèvreloup in Rocquencourt

Created in 1924 in the northernmost part of the Versailles estate, the Arboretum is part of the National Museum of Natural History and pffers an interesting and instructive journey through the world of trees.
A tour taking in some 13,000 trees and shrubs from the cold or temperate regions of the planet (Europe, China, Japan, the Himalayas, the Caucasus, the United States and Canada) features the most important and ths most unusual of them. 
An avenue of cedars from the Atlas mountains separates the area of conifers from that of the deciduous trees.
The gingka biloba, the giant sequoia, the weeping ash, the striped maples, the sycamores and the European and Dahurian larches are all splendid in the autumn, whilst in spring the blossoms of the cherries, the apples, the hawthorn and the paulownias are pure enchantment.
The arboretum covers a total area of 205 hectares, not all of wich is open to the public. It is home to over 2,700 species and varieties grouped in geographical zones (the Americas, Asia, Europe) and also in a nursery area.
Glasshouses provide shelter for 5,000 tropical species (tours by request only).
