Le Jardin du Marais

A botanical garden in the Cotentin marshes.
An old farmhouse characteristic of the Cotentin marshes surrounded by several lush gardens. Different botanical spaces transport the visitor from one atmosphere to another. We go from a small “priest’s garden” to the opulence of an English-style mixed border. Beautiful century-old ash trees accompany a collection of perennials and old rose bushes, a kiosk, a fish pond, boxwood trimmed in a spiral, exotic atmospheres of tree ferns, so many surprises well hidden behind the walls of this property.
Everything is handmade by a passionate amateur gardener who passes on his passion and know-how! A natural setting placed there for 40 years like an oasis in the heart of the marshes. Pretty chickens remind visitors of the origin of this old farm, a sharecropper's house from the last century built in limestone. Free or guided tours and group rates by appointment. Picnic possible.
