Situated on the same street as the Michelin head office in an otherwise sleepy residential area of brutalist apartment complexes in suburban Clermont-Ferrand, the Jardin botanique de la Charme is easy to miss. It is small, and at a first glance it looks neglected and forgotten, full of empty flowerbeds and big trees hanging low over them, making everything a bit gloomy. But once you get a little bit further in, the garden lightens up. Flowerbeds and tomato plants. Tranquil. The botanical garden in Clermont-Ferrand does not brag. But I liked the visit, in all its modesty.
