The park
Labelled "The Remarkable Garden" in 2005, the park offers a rich and pleasant, serene parenthesis in the heart of the Valley of Castles.
In 1992, the park was declared as a historic monument. A major restoration work was then undertaken. Based on a project by Gilles Clément, the gardens of Beauregard evidence of the desire of the Countess du Pavilion to ensure the link between the past centuries with modern times. The collection of oaks and the pond created in the 21st century reflect these innovations. The renovation of the cooler in 2008 has helped to revive a forgotten part of the park.
Steps through the park
topThe Vertugadin, decorative slopes, lead down along the carpet of the Lys flower to the garden of portraits. A landscape creation dedicated to perennials, the garden portraits can be discovered in the rate of its 12 greenery rooms. From the top levels of the garden, the eye of the walker can enjoy the regular scheduling of the 12 rooms of the garden of portraits. This landscape creation was inaugurated in 1995 as a project by Gilles Clément, creator of the park in Paris André Citroën and the garden of the Musée du Quai Branly. Each garden, protected by its plant cell walls is a variation of a dominant colour and a scholar-building landscape exercise. Over 400 species of perennials and shrubs are changing, from mid-April to mid-October, with the variation of different blooms.
The Rose Garden is sheltering the walls of the garden. 107 roses form one of the largest rose gardens of the Loire Valley.
The roses are mostly former roses of Souvenir de Malmaison, Cardinal Richelieu and Count of Chambord.
A new rose garden was established in 2008, that was devoted to British species. Sherlock Holmes meets Sir Lancelot or Hyde Park nearby Covent Garden.
Orchards of decorative bark trees, the oak, the cédraie or the newest addition, the collection of bamboo enrich the park each year. The cooler is hidden at the bottom of the park as well as the pond with water lilies, that is surrounded by curious dwarf conifers.
Finally, the chapel and a garden of heather offer a pleasant walk in the forest park.

The cooler
The building threatened to collapse in early winter 2007/2008. The renovation of the cooler has given new life to this remote part of the park. In the coldest winter, ice was stored in the tank and remained during the summer. The cooler of Beauregard, dated from the 18th century, was used until 1925
The rose of Beauregard
Created in 2000 by the nursery Sauvageot, this rose with double flowers is characterized by its white cream colour fringed with cherry red. It flowers in June and September.
