Jardin botanique Édouard-Marie Heckel
Beside Parc Borély, this botanical garden gathers distinct Japanese, Chinese and Mediterranean areas, plus a greenhouse focused on South African plants.
Why go
The themed gardens offer a more focused plant visit than the adjoining public park. Move between the regional collections to compare planting styles, then look for the South African greenhouse as a different growing environment. Its compact scale rewards a slow look at the contrasts.
What to look for
Japanese and Chinese garden areas contrast in layout and planting.
The Mediterranean section brings the focus back to the local climate.
A greenhouse holds South African flora.
Useful to know
Check the garden’s current entry arrangements before travelling.
