Jardins Auguste Chevalier
A colonial-era botanical trial garden founded in the early 1900s on the northern outskirts of Dalaba, with shaded paths and highland plants.
Founded in the early 20th century by the French botanist Auguste Chevalier, the garden was used to trial tropical and temperate plants such as cinchona, coffee, and pine. Tall pines, eucalyptus, and bamboo groves remain. Facilities are simple today, but strolling in the cool shade is pleasant, with highland streams and distant mountains in view. It is about 4 kilometers from central Dalaba and can be combined with a visit to the pine forest trails.
