#WaterGardens #IsThisReallyFrance? #FeelingZen
A visit to the water gardens in St. Didier sur Chalaronne, not far from the Saone,  will make you feel like you’re on another continent altogether! Feel yourself being transported to a far corner of Asia, somewhere among the bamboo trees of a zen garden…

Relax and revitalise

The water gardens are a place to get some fresh air and greenery and one of the loveliest little parks, with benches and picnic tables dotting the paths between the pools. Admire the lotuses floating on the little lake, bordered with majestic weeping willows – simply magnificent! No one will blame you for wanting to sit down with a book and spend the whole day here…

A feeling of zen will wash over you as you wander through this peaceful oasis, tucked away under the shade of exotic plants and trees, listening to the sound of gently lapping water from the falls.

An unusual and exotic landscape

Stroll through the bamboo forest, stopping to admire the Japanese koi carp – no, it’s not a dream, you really are in Ain! You’ll be forgiven for feeling like you’re abroad…

Information points throughout the park give us an insight into this exotic world, indicating the different varieties and species – essential for differentiating between the 50 different types of bamboo tree, various fish, insects and floating plants. You will leave here feeling mesmerised by the incredible beauty and diversity of nature.
