This park has existed since 1818 and owes its name to its production vocation. Under an 1860 agreement, the departmental nursery entrusted the land to the town on condition that it supply trees for the department's roads and open it to the public. The nursery once extended from the Hôtel de Police to Place de la Méditerranée.
Don't miss: the nursery, renovated between 1978 and 1979, now occupies just 10% of its original surface area, a feast for the eyes not to be missed during the "Saint-Martin summer", when the park is decked out in its magnificent autumn colors. American oaks, Liquidambars and other species recreate a sort of Indian summer.
