Garden of the Conservatoire botanique national de Brest

Discover the world of plants with your family: exhibitions, tropical greenhouses and conservatory garden.

In the heart of the Vallon du Stang-Alar, a stone's throw from the town center and Océanopolis, the Botanical Conservatory Garden invites you and your family to discover the world of plants.

Built on a former quarry, this 30-hectare site was chosen for its mild climate, steep slopes and water, making it an exceptional place to grow plants from all over the world. It was the first institution created in 1975 dedicated to the preservation of endangered wild plants.

The tropical greenhouses take you on a journey among the world's rarest and most endangered plants. Some of them no longer exist in the wild. Take a detour through the conservatory garden and temporary exhibitions, and you'll leave with a wealth of images and insights into biodiversity!

The tropical greenhouses, rare and preserved treasures
Enter the heart of France's largest concentration of endangered plants!

Accompanied by the sounds of nature, you'll discover rare hibiscus, the astonishing adaptation of species to their environment and the fascinating world of carnivorous plants.

The conservatory garden, a 30-hectare tour of the world
Whether you take a stroll through the undergrowth, cross the bamboo grove or glimpse Brest harbor in the shade of the eucalyptus trees, the garden is a place for relaxation and the pleasure of the senses. Sea cabbages, giant sequoias, tree ferns and palm trees promise a veritable tour of the plant world.
