Since 1975, the Hospital Centre has been developing therapeutic sensory gardens covering an area of over 40 hectares.
This original initiative is attributed to the green spaces department in conjunction with the medical and administrative teams. You have to look beyond the world of psychiatry to discover a park full of trees, where the plants harmoniously complement the buildings, with particular attention paid to the needs of patients.
The differentiated management approach, with zero use of plant protection products, was strengthened in 2010 by the signing of an agreement with the LPO, which qualifies the hospital as a biodiversity conservation area known as an "LPO refuge".
It can only be visited at certain events.
