After studying architecture at the Beaux-Arts in Paris, René Guichemerre settled permanently in Dax, his hometown, in 1951. He then draws what will become his place of life and work: the domain of the Sarrat, today historic monument and remarkable garden. The park today has more than 700 trees of 27 different species on more than 3 hectares.
