A garden located on the Normandy Coast, in the style of an English garden. Unique in France, it was designed by a renowned English landscaper and architect.

In the 19th century, Guillaume Mallet acquired a vast area of virgin land overlooking the sea. To landscape it, Mallet, who was a passionate amateur gardener, called upon the services of Gertrude Jekyll, one of the most famous English landscapers of the early 20th century. She developed the concept of a mixed border, flowerbeds in which all flowers are mixed, and which both divide up areas and create a series of flowered tableaux.
