Les Chemins de la Rose Parc de Courcilpleu Route de Cholet F-49700 Doué la Fontaine Opened to the public in May 1999, Les Chemins de la Rose is a 4 hectares landscaped floral park in the heart of the Loire Valley. Its creation was motivated by the desire to respond to the expectations of visitors who came to Doué la Fontaine, the capital of rose production in France. Before the park's creation, visitors could only buy roses, not view them in a natural setting. The park is planted with nearly 1000 varieties of botanical, old, and modern roses. In all, there are more than 9000 rose bushes. Trees, bushes, perennials, clematis and its famous lotus accompany the collection and enrich the b eauty of one's stroll through the garden.
