The park and its arboretum, created in the 19th century, are true natural treasures. They contain treasures such as a Thujopsis from 1802 and a majestic Douglas fir from 1895. Through five kilometres of forest trails, you can immerse yourself in this unspoilt nature. The island in the middle of the river is covered with magnificent rhododendrons. The exhibition of several sculptures adds an artistic touch to the ensemble. You can admire the monumental earth sculpture entitled «The Great Swimmer» made by Gerhard Lentink, as well as the work of Marc Duquesnoy from 2008, sculpted from the stump of a tree, combining wood and porcelain. On the occasion of the European Heritage Days, you will have the opportunity to visit the park freely throughout the day, or to participate in guided tours led by the owner. Take advantage of this unique opportunity to discover the history and beauty of this exceptional place.

  • Nouvelle-Aquitaine
The Parc Arboretum de Saint-Setiers is a private park open to the public all year round. It is an ancient site with buildings dating back to the seventeenth century. It experienced an accelerated development from the 1970s. Successive owners, lovers of trees and living heritage, maintained the park while preserving its natural spirit and added new species of trees and shrubs. Today, the elements of the heritage it houses, such as the cressonnière, the cross, the fountains, the dovecote and the mansion, are enhanced by the presence of century-old or rare trees on the plateau of Millevaches.
The arboretum of Saint-Setiers is a small natural jewel that extends over 3 hectares and is home to more than 130 species of trees and flower beds. It offers a variety of atmospheres, with large century-old trees identified by signs and small flowers bordering the trails. In this place, you can live an experience in harmony with the trees that best suit you and organize your visit according to your a
