Arboretum du Lampy, also known as Arboretum du Domaine du Lampy-Neuf, is a private tree garden in Le Lampy-Neuf, Saissac, Aude, in Languedoc-Roussillon, France. It is open daily. The arboretum began in the 19th century as the Canal du Midi administration's experimental site for exotic trees. After about 40 years of neglect, restoration began in 1995. Its older trees include araucarias, Lawson cypresses, sequoiadendrons, thujas, and Virginia tulip trees, with newer plantings of cedar of Lebanon, Ginkgo biloba, liquidambar, and Negundo maple.
