The Oriental Park of Maulévrier is a Japanese-inspired garden of transformation where nature is admired as a symbol of time, punctuating the seasons.
The vegetation in the Oriental Park, rich in more than 400 species, marks the seasons with its variations of colors throughout the year: the white and pink blooms of cherry trees (Hanami) then azaleas in spring, the green shades in summer, Maple leaf blight in autumn (Koyo).
As a metaphor for the cycle of life, spring symbolizes youth, summer symbolizes adulthood, autumn symbolizes the wisdom of old age, and winter symbolizes rest before the new season. The circulation of water in the garden, from east to west, represents the race of the sun from sunrise to sunset.
