Work on the creation of this garden, which began in 1863 under the supervision of Henri Lecoq, Professor of Mineralogy and Botany at the botanic garden, was completed in 1909. The garden, covering 5 hectares, is now an attractive magical green open space in the heart of the town, containing a large sheet of water, a rose garden.

The Jardin Lecoq is a breath of fresh air where it is possible to relax and enjoy the silence. The weight of many years has not detracted from the majestic trees and flowery hedges, thanks to careful tending by the town’s gardeners. The sheet of water, the rose garden (which flowers from May to September) and the entrance to what was once Blaise Pascal’s home are all attractive, but the Byblis fountain is undoubtedly the most stunning feature.
Produced by Jean Camus in 1905, this sculpture relates the tragic story of King Minos’ granddaughter, who fell guiltily in love with her brother. Rejected by her family, her face was forever buried in never ending tears.
