The original owner was Philippe Andre de Vilmorin, whose main intention was to study forestry. During that time, the area had no trees, and Vilmorin planted an extensive forest with P pinaster, p Laricio, pinus sylvestris and American oaks.

A part of the land was sold to the country, and a forestry school was set up. A geographic collection began later in 3 hectares. Vilmorin’s family was involved for a long time, and today the arboretum still stands with a wide range of tree species, with most European species covered.
