Préparez votre venue:

Les Jardins d’Étretat are located on the Amont Cliff, part of Normandy’s unique natural heritage. For this reason, parking on the grounds is not allowed and neither is the driving of private vehicles. Visitors are thus invited to take the 10-minute walk uo the cliff path, and for the less hardy there is a Little Train that can be taken by the Mairie d’Étretat in the city center.

If you are arriving by car, please find out about the parking possibilities here.

I. Jardin Avatar

List of the gardens

Jardin Avatar is situated at the entrance to Les Jardins d'Étretat. Avatar was the Sanskrit title of the guardian of the Universe, who permeated it with his divine presence. Jardin Avatar is a gateway that leads visitors beyond the bounds of reality, into the magical realm of surrealism. There even trees make their music. Strikingly trimmed plants beckon the visitor to step into a fairytale where anyone can find a path to their own Avatar.

Clockwork Forest

The installation Clockwork Forest was created by Greyworld, a British group of artists best known for its public-activated art, sculpture and interactive installations in public spaces. Clockwork Forest is the first chapter in the new fairy-tale yet to be told. Turn the key, and a clockwork melody will accompany your every step, as you wander through this magical garden.

Sea Shell

This installation, made from a plastic membrane by St. Petersburg-based artist Alyona Kogan was commissioned especially for Les Jardins d'Étretat. The installation transforms a clifftop into a seabed, instantly changing the viewing angle and recalibrating the scale of its surroundings.

Platter

The large trunk of an old oak tree served as material for the work by German sculptor Thomas Rösler. The tool marks left on the wooden surface narrate the story of its creation.
