The Porte d'Amont (Falaise d'Amont) in Etretat (Seine-Maritime), Normandy, France


The Etretat Gardens (French: Les Jardins D'Etretat) is a cliff-top experimental garden with "living sculptures" in Étretat, Normandy, France. It surrounds a villa that once belonged to Madame Thebault, an actress from Paris, in the beginning of the 20th century. More than a century later, the garden was restored by a team led by the Russian landscape architect Alexander Grivko of the British garden design and landscaping company IL Nature, who was inspired by the flora of the Normandy coast. It was reopened to the public in 2017. Grivko was awarded the 2019/2020 European Garden Award in "Best restoration or development of a historic park or garden" category for his work. The Étretat Gardens are listed among "Great Gardens of the World" and also received a star from the Michelin Green Guide.
