The Parc Floral de Paris is another very beautiful garden to visit all the year and not only for its very pretty collection of camellias. It is located near the Vincennes wood (metro station "Château de Vincennes").

I can go there as often as I wish and follow the camellias throughout the flowering season (ie from October to May). It is rather recent, arranged in 1969, on a total surface of 35 ha. It is a good manner to discover the camellias in Paris area.

The camellias are varied and in great number, even if they represent a small part of the plantations of the Park.

With these photographs, you will have a small selection of the collection. Below, on the left, a japonica, on the right, a Higo.

In autumn, you can also admire some sasanqua, like 'Star Above Star', on the left.

Now a small visit of the park, guided by the camellias. There is also a greenhouse where are cultivated the botanics. Below, a sight of the first area which is completely dedicated to them.

Attention : this area is being renovated. The camellias in the two photos below have been transfered in a new massif. It is possible that camellias listed in the nomenclature as visible in the Parc Floral, will not be anymore at the end of the operation. As much as we can, we will update this page.

However, this area is almost completely intact. It is near to the previous one.

The park is very wide. We move then towards another part. In this one, the camellias are mixed with other plantations. It is there that you can find the greatest subjects. It is necessary to consider of the age of the park to appreciate their size.
