The first arboretum created here was at the behest of the Marquis Melchior de Polignac, son of the widow Pommery, so that the employees of the famous champagne house could have an elegant space to relax in in their free time. Now it's a delightful space for everyone to enjoy, or possibly sleep off the effects of a champagne tasting! There are all sorts of events during the summer, including show jumping, concerts, exhibitions and educational days. Dogs must be on leads.
