First botanical survey at the Château de Bourgon, conducted by Maurice Gérard on July 7, 2011, co-author of the Floristic Atlas of the Pays de Loire.
The “key” species observed attest to the remarkable quality of the site, which is also part of a ZNIEFF area. *Hello Mr. and Mrs. Ducatillon, I am pleased to send you an Excel file containing the results of my day of fieldwork conducted around your remarkable castle.
More than 250 species is quite impressive; of course, a second visit in the spring would be needed to get a more comprehensive picture of your rich plant life. The third column lists the status of the plants.
None of them are protected, but a few are included in the list of key plants for the Pays de la Loire region. Maurice GERARD*
