The Arboretum Of Neuvic d'Ussel, romantic, agricultural and landscape park, has been created from 1815 and belongs to the same family ever since. A walk on its 2 km of alleys offers outlooks on the castle, the lake and the aviary, accompanied by the peaceful music of sheep’s bells. The park’s principal attraction however are its trees: 350 species from different continents, some of them being remarkable specimens – a giant sequoia (3,50 m in diameter), a Chamaecyparis of 8 trunks, vegetable cathedral if there ever was, a Virginian tulip tree, the park’s oldest inmate (45 meters of height), an impressive Small-leaved lime tree on top of a small hill, its green staircase.
