Etretat Gardens

Les Jardins d'Étretat
France, Normandy
Etretat Gardens is a neo-futuristic garden in the French city of Etretat dedicated to the nature and history of Normandy. It occupies an area of ​​1.5 hectares. Located near the picturesque coast on a hill around the Villa Roksolana, built in 1905.
The garden was restored in 2016 and has been open to the public daily since May 2017. Today it is one of the most visited tourist sites in the city of Étretat.
In addition to the plant part, the garden contains objects of contemporary art - Clockwork Forest, Shell, Plate, Avatar, Emotion Faces, Raindrops, etc.
The garden also features a sculpture by Claude Monet. This sculpture is part of the "Hugging Trees" art object.
The founder of the garden was the French actress Madame Tebo. Influenced by Claude Monet, an impressionist and enthusiastic gardener who often painted in Étretat, Madame Thébaud decided to establish a garden on the Cliff of Amon. In 1903, the first tree was planted here.
Claude Monet defined the general style of the garden, which is carefully preserved to this day. The garden is laid out around the house of Madame Tabo, built in the neo-Norman style. The house was named "Villa Roxalana" in honor of Madame Tebo's favorite role - Roksolana, the wife of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent.

The gardens were created on the highest cliff of Etretat, commissioned by the French actress Madame Th? beault. She was inspired by the paintings of Claude Monet, who, in turn, adored Etretat. For many years the gardens were privately owned and closed to the public. Everything changed when the former Russian opera singer Marc Dumas bought Madame Th? beault, while his architect friend Alexander Grivko restored the gardens and created an extraordinary new version of them. The gardens were only opened to the public in September 2016.
