Nizzagärten (The Gardens of Nice)

Thanks to the southern exposure, the lee of the quay walls and the sunlight reflected from the river, exotic plants can thrive in the Nizza Gardens in a Mediterranean microclimate. The 4.42-hectare site is one of the largest southern gardens open to the public north of the Alps. Today's plant selection does not require winter removal to an orangery, as frost-resistant species were chosen here that can remain on site, wrapped up warmly, even during the cold season. The Nice continues the ramparts on their western arm to the banks of the Main.
