Facts and practical information

The Folies Siffait is a park built between 1816 and 1830 in the domain of Gérardière, in Le Cellier, near Nantes, by Maximilien Siffait, amateur architect, and later by his son Oswald, botanist.

They are registered as historical monuments since a decree of July 22, 1992.

Long privately owned, the site became the property of the commune in 1986 and then of the Loire-Atlantique department in 2007.
