On September 6, 2019, the winners of the European Garden Award 2019-2020 were presented in Germany by Schloss Dyck Foundation and European Garden Heritage Network. Jardins d'Étretat received the 1st Prize in the category of “Best development of a historic garden or park”.

"The garden incorporates quite exceptionally the geological and atmospheric density of this stretch of land between the sky and the sea and it is a pure passion: green spaces and round forms proceed in waves up to the sea, a forest of clipped yews, whose tops stick out into the sky, regarding the conifers on the French coast, while arcs and gaps symbolise ebb and flow, box tree crowns are reminiscent of mussels washed up on the beach, and narrow-leaf phillyrea (Phillyrea angustifolia) look like chalk cliffs", - commented Roswitha Arnold, a member of the EGA Jury.
