Laid out in 1924 in the northern part of the Versailles estate, the arboretum provides a recreational and informative journey around the world of trees in an area of 50 hectares. On a trail dotted with trees from the temperate and cold regions of the world (Europe, China, Japan, the Himalayas, the Caucasus, the United States and Canada), come and learn about the most important and the most extraordinary ones. An avenue of cedars from the Atlas mountains separates the zone of conifers from the deciduous trees. Gingko biloba, giant sequoia, weeping ash, redvein maple, sycamores, and European and Siberian larch are all resplendent in autumn, while in spring the blossom of the prunus, apple trees, hawthorns and paulownias is a delight to behold. The 200 hectares of the Arboretum, much of which is not open to the public, has over 2500 species and varieties of trees grouped according to their geographical zones (Asia, Europe and the Americas) and an horticultural area, making it one of the most famous parks and places for walks near Paris.
