What travellers are saying
- Mathias SBonstetten, Switzerland311 contributionsNot for fans of manicured French gardens. No signaling or labeling to distract from the experience. Very enjoyable visit. Several different rooms, many underlined with water elements, wonderful plants & flowers, turning in a jungle feeling in the more dense areas of the garden. Seating almost everywhere makes the visit even more relaxing. Definitely worth the €10 fee. We can recommend.Written 31 July 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- martine a1 contributionWe loved the visit to this magnificent historic castle, with drawbridge, moat, surrounding wall and towers.
The recently renovated and expanding garden is really inspiring and charming. Families and children friendly. Highly recommanded.

- dean tWythall, UK71 contributionsOur local beach when we are in the area, quiet, safe and child friendly. A local shop sells ice creams and sweets. My only criticism is the farming undertaking of the muscle beds can be a distraction - lovely place to visit and relax.Written 2 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Georgina VChard, UK63 contributionsWhat a beach, because we were staying at a campsite further down taking the road along the length of the beach was a lovely route to take. We also sat and drank wine ate ice-cream at the small cafe. Dogs are allowed at the end of August.

- belgianguy1Bruges, Belgium11,318 contributionsAs usual here in Normandy, the beach is covered in pebbles rather than sand, however it's a pretty setting with huge limestone cliffs in the background...very windy when we were here, hold on to your hat!Written 6 August 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- GlobetrotterbreizhHomecourt, France87 contributionsWe really enjoyed walking through the gardens today. It is nice and relaxing. Not huge, but big enough to enjoy. There are a few animals around. This is a place to visit with your children.
The entrance fee is fair, and you can treat yourself to a drink and snack afterwards.Written 18 July 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

They liked using the map and numbered sign posts to orienteer through the “jungle”. There is a nice view of the chateau and you get to pet animals.
The gardens are down the road from some lovely eateries with ocean views. A nice change from beach days. It is open from 2pmWritten 30 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JaakkoTapioHelsinki, Finland657 contributionsAs part of Normandy trip, self arranged, we just started studies & visits from here, D-Day's east side beach, where coastal sector was named as "Sword". And as it was occupied mostly of United Kingdom's soldiers, of course, bagpipers was along. There is one memorial monument also for this. Today beach looks very nice, thus calm still before Summer season will begin.

- bg564Windhoek, Namibia888 contributionsNice little village with good hiking up to the top of the cliffs and restaurants and shops in the town. We visited in October where there weren't many tourists but there was a light but steady rain. This would not be a pleasant place if it was overcrowded with tourists.Written 27 October 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
