In Blanquefort, at the foot of the hillside, 20 minutes from the center of Bordeaux, the Majolan park gathers on 300 hectares a 4-hectare lake, artificial caves, a rock bridge, and small tortuous paths in the middle of rare and exotic species.
Fake decorative ruins, "the follies", offer the attraction and lead to resting places where benches await the visitors.
There is a spectacular demonstration of the art of the rockworkers and the hydraulic ingenuity used in this park to create fountains and geysers of water.
The third most visited park in the region and labeled "Remarkable Garden", the Majolan Park is listed in the supplementary inventory of historical monuments and classified as a Remarkable Garden.
It is the work of the landscape designer Le Breton, who also designed the Parc de Bourran in Mérignac.
