Les Jardins d'Étretat is a unique garden perched on the Falaise d'Amont, the eastern cliff overlooking the town and the English Channel. Designed by landscape architect Alexandre Grivko, the garden combines native coastal plants with modern art installations, creating a surreal landscape that echoes the surrounding chalk cliffs. Visitors can wander through themed areas like the 'Cloud Garden' with its misty atmosphere, or the 'Bamboo Garden' with towering stalks. The garden also features striking sculptures by artists such as Samuel Salcedo and Przemek Podolski, which interact with the natural elements. The site offers breathtaking views of the Aiguille and the Falaise d'Aval, making it a must-visit for art lovers and nature enthusiasts alike.
