The maze layout is physically redesigned every year to ensure returning visitors face a new challenge.
The structure covers an area equivalent to several football pitches, making it one of the largest plant labyrinths in Europe.
The pathways total several kilometers in length depending on the season's specific configuration.
The site uses hornbeam hedges, which are chosen for their ability to maintain density and height for structural walls.
The Labyrinthe Géant des Monts de Guéret is one of the world's largest permanent plant-based labyrinths, spanning over two hectares. Located in the Creuse department, the maze is constructed primarily from hedges that are replanted or reconfigured periodically to alter the navigation experience. The site integrates interactive challenges, including puzzles and wooden play equipment, positioned throughout the winding paths. It is designed to be accessible for families and focuses on outdoor orientation activities. The grounds are situated within the wooded landscape of the Guéret forest region. Visitors must find specific checkpoints or themes to successfully navigate the exit.
