Les Jardins d'Étretat
A contemporary landscape garden on the Falaise d'Amont, with wave-patterned clipped hedges and sculptures. From its edge you can look out toward the sea arches.
Les Jardins d'Étretat sit on the hillside of the Falaise d'Amont. The garden was originally the villa garden of actress Madame Taubou in the early 20th century, and Monet is said to have painted here. Since 2017, it has been redesigned by landscape architect Alexandre Grivko. The design centers on wave-shaped clipped hedges that symbolize waves and wind, interspersed with contemporary art sculptures and installations. From the garden's edge you can gaze toward the sea arches of the Falaise d'Aval. Admission is about €15. Combine your visit with the small Chapel of Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde at the top of the Falaise d'Amont.
