Created by Gustave Thuret. At Cap d'Antibes, the Villa Thuret has been a scientific research site dedicated to botany and acclimatization since 1857.
Gustave Thuret, algologist and botanist, is at the origin of the botanical garden of Antibes which was the scene of his research in the 19th century. If this space is open to the public, it remains a high place of experimentation and observation for the culture of trees and shrubs. More than 1600 species are listed there today.

A scientific research site devoted to botany and acclimatization, the Villa Thuret garden has been awarded many distinctions. It has been awarded the "Jardin remarquable", "Arbre remarquable" and "Maisons des illustres" labels, as well as the "Jardin botanique de France" label. This says a lot about the incredible wealth of collections in the laboratory created by Gustave Thuret over 150 years ago.
Today, the Villa Thuret is state-owned, and continues to observe and maintain some 2,500 trees and shrubs, representing over a thousand species! In the heart of this privileged environment, a trail leads visitors to meet exotic specimens and the rarest singular trees, a fascinating and captivating discovery for all publics.
