Roseraie du Val-de-Marne

Jules Gravereaux, who made his fortune in the Bon Marché department store in Paris, purchased a large property in L'Haÿ about 8 km south of Paris in 1892 and hired the famous landscape architect and horticulturalist Édouard André to lay out a garden containing 1600 roses.

Laid out in thirteen formal sections, today Roseraie du Val-de-Marne has a total of 13,100 rose bushes featuring 3200 species and varieties.

This line is a continuation of the Paris meridian as mentioned in the Dan Brown book The Da Vinci Code.
