A neo-futuristic garden extending over the cliffs north of Étretat, it combines lush topiary, architecture and contemporary art installations. At the end of the 19th century, the garden was owned by French actress friend of Claude Monet, who spent many hours painting in Étretat. In 1905, inspired by the artist, she decided to create a garden at the top of the Amont cliff that would reflect Monet's work with avant-garde elements mixed with a touch of impressionism. In 2017, Alexandre Grivko, a landscape architect fascinated by this history, gave Les Jardins d'Étretat a revamp. Plant sculptures evoke the nature of the Normandy coast, while more than a hundred thousand plants provide beauty throughout the year. The goal was to bring together historical and artistic elements of the old garden and contemporary architectural ideas.
