Visit to the Park and Gardens

Callunes Park and Gardens, a must-see site in Ban-de-Sapt. What to see and do at Callunes Park and Gardens in the Vosges?

Located in Ban-de-Sapt, in the heart of the Vosges Mountains, the Callunes Gardens were created between 1994 and 1996, inspired by landscape architect Jacques Couturieux. This 4-hectare landscaped park is nestled in nature. Formerly on the German side (the trench is still visible), its most distinctive feature remains the conversion of a former quarry into a landscaped botanical garden.
The landscaped park has since undergone various changes in its garden layout.

Now a private garden, it has been managed by Thomas and Anaïs since December 2025 in order to make these gardens magical, and to make them known to as many people as possible!
