Villa Les Cèdres, housing one of the largest collections of tropical plants in Europe, is a private botanical garden and is famous for its rare collections of tropical and subtropical plants.

Our private tour of the gardens and greenhouses were incredible. On 2.5 acres there are over 14,000 species of plants. Peto designed the waterway in this exceptional garden. Trees are draped with ephphytes, there is a palm grove, a collection of bamboos and a corner of equatorial forest. It’s all there, plus more – like the greenhouses full to the brim. This is indeed a plantsmans paradise.
