Etretat Gardens

The Étretat Gardens (French: Les Jardins d'Étretat) is a cliff-top experimental topiary garden located in the coastal town of Étretat, France, overlooking the English Channel. Inspired by the natural beauty and cultural heritage of Normandy, the garden surrounds the Belle Époque villa La Roxelane. C

onceived by landscape architect Alexander Grivko in collaboration with his partner Mark Dumas, the project was brought to life by the design and landscaping company IL NATURE. Since its public opening in May 2017, Jardins d’Étretat has become one of the most visited tourist destinations in the region. The garden features a permanent collection of sculptures and installations alongside temporary exhibitions. Every two years, as part of its artist residency program, Jardins d’Étretat invites artists through an open call to create large-scale, site-specific projects.
