"Nichée au fond de l’impressionnante vallée de la Meuse, Profondeville est habitée depuis le néolithique et son nom de 'Profunda villa' lui vient de l’époque romaine. Parmi le patrimoine forestier de la commune, riche de 633 hectares, se trouve un intéressant arboretum. Installé en 1917 dans le bois communal de la Petite Hulle, il abrite 66 espèces mêlant essences feuillues et résineuses, exotiques et indigènes bénéficiant du climat tout à fait particulier de la vallée de la Meuse.

Situé sur une boucle admirable de la Meuse, le jardin botanique culmine à une altitude de 130 mètres. il s’étend sur une superficie de 5,35 ha. son périmètre est rectiligne et plus ou moins au carré. Par contre, le tracé des chemins qui le parcourt en tous sens évite la monotonie des lignes droites. Une piste de santé permet de découvrir sportivement les richesses dendrologiques de ce lieu agréable."

"Nestled at the bottom of the impressive Meuse valley, Profondeville has been inhabited since the Neolithic period and its name'Profunda villa' comes from Roman times. Among the municipality's forest heritage, which covers 633 hectares, there is an interesting arboretum. Settled in 1917 in the communal woods of La Petite Hulle, it shelters 66 species mixing leafy and resinous, exotic and indigenous species that benefit from the very particular climate of the Meuse valley.

Located on an admirable loop of the Meuse, the botanical garden culminates at an altitude of 130 metres. it extends over an area of 5.35 ha. its perimeter is rectilinear and more or less square. On the other hand, the layout of the paths that run through it in all directions avoids the monotony of straight lines. A health trail allows you to discover the dendrological richness of this pleasant place."
