The second garden, known as "Goualoup", has hosted the International Garden Festival since 1992. As the seasons change, this annual event (from April to October) has become an unmissable meeting point for new, contemporary garden designers: landscape architects, set designers or gardeners. Each year has its theme, which the artists bring to life with originality and imagination. The park and the International Garden Festival of Chaumont-sur-Loire were awarded the "Jardins Remarquables" (Remarkable Gardens) and the "Arbres Remarquables" (Remarkable Trees) label in 2011, thanks to the exceptional cedars that adorn the Domaine's park.

A beautiful place – as you can see in the picture of the bridge, the rains in 2024 also drove driftwood in front of the bridge. Flooding has always been a problem here – the entire bridge has been completely submerged several times!

The flood level is truly impressive! The entire town and the bridge over the Loire River have been flooded. There's not much you can do here by moving to higher ground.
