Botanique Magique
Winter light experience in the Botanical Garden
As night falls, the Botanical Garden transforms into a magical world of light, sound and remarkable creatures. During this winter walk, you will discover eight impressive installations that bring plants, trees and mysterious inhabitants to life. When one of these figures suddenly disappears, a special quest begins. Light, sound and surprising visuals guide you through new chapters and different atmospheres.
You follow a fixed route accompanied by an audio story. The walk is suitable for all ages.
