Evian Water Gardens

The appropriately named Water Gardens (Jardin Du Pre Curieux) are on the banks of the lake and look across towards towards Switzerland. They have been beautifully landscaped to create a colourful garden which is surrounded by mature trees and dotted with sweet smelling flowerbeds and shrubs and of course water beds and streams. The information centre is housed in a lovelly colonial style house.
