Olbius Riquier park

At the end of the 19th century, the park became an annex of the Jardin d'Acclimatation in Paris, in order to study tropical species likely to adapt to the Var climate. Today, the species planted at that time flourish here: palms, bamboos, agaves and cacti. In one corner of the generous botanical garden, a greenhouse houses exotic plants and birds. Owned by the town of Hyères, admission is free. Young and old alike enjoy strolling through the garden not only for its lush vegetation, but also for the various attractions on offer: pony rides, a merry-go-round and the famous little train.
