If you're craving a journey to the Orient, why not treat yourself to a Zen stroll through the Japanese Garden, proudly recognized as a Remarkable Garden? Nestled right in the heart of Compans-Caffarelli Park, this garden's exotic charm is a delightful surprise for anyone who visits. It's like stepping into a serene corner of Kyoto, Japan, with its design inspired by the gardens from the 14th to the 16th centuries.

Here, you'll find an exquisite blend of elements: a stunning display of minerals, lush plant life, and serene aquatic features, all adorned with traditional Japanese decorations. Imagine wandering through a rock garden featuring islands dedicated to the crane and the turtle, marveling at nine unique rocks, or gazing at a tranquil lake. Don’t miss the tea pavilion and the landscaped garden, which boasts a dry waterfall, authentic Japanese stepping stones, a lantern, and a vibrant red bridge. There's even an Island of Paradise, a mini Mount Fuji, and the headstones of three saints, each element carefully placed to create an atmosphere of peace and reflection.

Interestingly, the garden also serves as a cultural touchstone, often hosting events and workshops that delve into Japanese art and tradition. It's a perfect spot to lose yourself in the tranquil beauty of nature while learning something new and exciting.
