Lecoq Garden

Thanks to the botanist Henri Lecoq, this garden began taking shape in 1863, built around a botanical garden that already stood on the site. First designed as Clermont’s Jardin des Plantes — a public botanical garden — it was transformed into the English-style garden we see today in 1915. It features a lovely rose garden, a peaceful pond perfect for a stroll, and even a guinguette where you can enjoy a drink by the water. A favorite spot for locals — whether for a walk, a picnic, or a bit of exercise — the garden brings a refreshing touch of greenery to the heart of Clermont-Ferrand’s medieval quarter.
