Jardin Vasterival Sainte Marguerite Sur Mer Dnt 5You’ll have the chance to explore the garden alongside a passionate gardener. If you wander around on your own, you could get lost, missing out on unknown, small or hidden species. And, above all, you might miss out on the many details of the history of this exceptional park.
After a long avenue of beech trees, you move on to mown or moss paths. You can then admire a multitude of plant tableaux. 10,000 species of plant grace the 12-hectare garden.
You can distinguish several heights: majestic trees, then bushes, ground cover plants. Everything is well thought out, yet the garden looks completely wild.

In 1955, Princess Greta Sturdza fell in love with this undergrowth. Over the course of 50 years, she built up a considerable collection of plants, sought after by the world’s leading botanists*.
Through the long beech alley, the Princess imagined a discreet, hidden, English-style entrance… Self-taught*, passionate, a force of nature, she created her entire garden herself.
