In the heart of the University Campus, the largest LPO Refuge in Isère, the arboretum is one of the most beautiful in the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes region. Just a stone's throw from the banks of the Isère River, let yourself be guided along its path and discover more than 250 species of trees and shrubs, as well as a wide variety of plants.
Throughout the seasons, enjoy the changing colors and blooms that make each visit unique.
