Garenne Park

The park of Tallard Castle - classified and equipped with ancient trees has been under the protection of the National Forestry Office (ONF) since 1957. Calm and freshness await you in the heart of this forest where the trees murmur ...

In the Renaissance, the park serves as a warren and provides game at the table of the lord of the time, Bernardin De Clermont. In 1499, the latter had him surrounded by walls. Totally destroyed by the fire of the Duke of Savoy in 1692, this park takes years to regain its original splendor. Today, it is the gateway to the castle.
