Discover the Vauville Botanical Garden, a botanical journey at the gateway to the Cotentin

Lovers of nature and discovery, let yourself be enchanted by the Vauville Botanical Garden, located at the tip of the magnificent Cotentin peninsula, in Normandy.

Across 4.5 hectares, this surprising haven is home to more than 1,000 plant species originating mainly from the southern hemisphere. Thanks to the local microclimate, palms, eucalyptus, tree ferns and other exotic plants flourish in a verdant landscape facing the sea.

An exceptional botanical collection

Among the treasures you can discover:

• majestic palms and Mediterranean species;

• rare plantings from Australia, South Africa and Chile.

Each season offers a different atmosphere: explosions of colour in spring, lushness in summer, blazing hues in autumn, and sculptural plant forms in winter.
