Le Jardin de la Perrine: a haven of peace in the heart of Laval
During your stay at the Best Western Hôtel de Paris in Laval, take the time to stroll through one of the city's most beautiful green spaces: the Jardin de la Perrine. Overlooking the Mayenne Valley from its rocky outcrop, this historic park invites you to a break of nature, culture, and relaxation right in the city center.
Whether you're a botany enthusiast, a walker, or looking for activities for your children, the Jardin de la Perrine will charm you.
Flower-lined paths, inviting lawns, and remarkable trees such as the giant sequoia, the Atlas and Lebanese cedars, and the Ginkgo biloba will punctuate your stroll.
Each season, the municipal gardeners give the garden a new look, enhancing the rose garden created in 1920 and featuring around a hundred varieties, camellias, and perennials. Children are not left out: a playground, a duck pond, and small animals await them with curiosity and wonder.
For a lively and joyful stroll, head to the three enclosures housing goats, pigeons, and exotic birds.
