Arboretum d'Harcourt
Harcourt, France
The Arboretum d'Harcourt, located on the grounds of the 14th-century Château d'Harcourt in Harcourt, Eure, Normandy, France, is one of the oldest arboreta in France, established in 1802 by Louis-Gervais Delamare who acquired the castle and its lands.
Delamare, with a passion for trees, experimented with various species to improve the soil and established a foundation that later served as a center for scientific study of trees and plants. The arboretum spans 11 hectares with over 500 diverse tree and shrub species from around the world, including ancient Lebanon cedars, giant sequoias, and Chinese ginkgo bilobas.
It is known for its picturesque paths, historic ambiance, and botanical significance and is managed by the local council since 1999. The grounds complement the medieval château, which was partly remodeled in the 17th century, offering visitors a blend of history, nature, and culture.
