Les Jardins d’Étretat is a neo-futuristic garden that extends over the cliffs of the Alabaster Coast, one of the wonders of Normandy.

Les Jardins d'Étretat néo-futuristes s’étendent sur les falaises de la Côte d’Albâtre, one of the wonders of Normandy.

The Gardens are a playground where lush topiary, architecture and contemporary art dialogue in all poetry.

The project is the winner of the European Garden Award in the category "Best development of a historic park or garden", possesses two MICHELIN stars in the Green Guide, listed among "Great Gardens of the World" and has the label "Remarkable Garden".

  • Jardin Impressions

    Jardin Impression offers the famous panoramic view of the English Channel and its cliffs, immortalized by numerous painters such as Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot, Eugène Delacroix, Édouard Manet, Claude Monet, and Vassili Polenov. The compositions of trimmed vegetation remind the viewer of the movement of the Channel tides, enhancing the sensation of immersion in the aquatic world.

  • Jardin Avatar

    Located at the entrance of Jardins d’Etretat, this garden serves as a gateway leading beyond reality, to a surreal and magical world. The word "avatara" in Sanskrit means the "descent of a deity from heaven, its incarnation on earth. You are invited into a fairy tale where each person chooses their path to encounter their avatar.

  • Jardin d'Amont

    The Amont Garden majestically overlooks the other gardens. Here, the plants merge with the coastal horizon by embracing the shape of the cliffs, in a multitude of parallel lines of astonishing mathematical precision. Its terrace, the highest point of the site, offers a breathtaking view of the gardens and the surrounding landscape.

  • Jardin Zen

    A space of tranquility and contemplation, Jardin Zen encourages a meditative look. Each element here evokes the feeling of flying: the tender white flowers of rhododendrons, the clay sculptures suspended in the air, and the gently swaying swings under the tree branches.

  • Jardin Aval

    Jardin Aval is inspired by the universe of Alice in Wonderland. Yew arches tower over the garden, creating a vegetal replica of the Aval Cliff, the famous alabaster arch of Étretat. The collection of orchids further enhances the surreal dimension of the place with their extraordinary shapes and colors.

  • Jardin La Manche

    The La Manche Garden is composed of a massive labyrinth of plants trimmed to evoke breaking waves. The silvery hue of the leaves reminds the foam of the waves crashing against the cliffs, offering an immersive sensory experience.

  • Jardin Emotions

    This garden draws inspiration from Marie-Antoinette's first French oyster farm, nestled in the waters of the English Channel. The trimmed vegetation evokes the underwater depths, the habitat of oysters, while sculptures of "emotion-faces" add an expressive dimension, reminiscent of the inhabitants of the marine depths.
