Visit the Botanical garden of Vauville
(The jardin botanique de Vauville)Amazing gardens
From the beach in Vauville, it’s hard to believe there are several hectares of exotic gardens just a hop away.
The journey begins as you enter the Botanical garden of Vauville. Stroll through the Chinese palm grove and admire the southern species, Mediterranean garden and aquatic flowers. As you go through the different areas, you’ll travel from country to country. A festival of colours and fragrances, the garden reveals different treasures over the course of the seasons.

A family affair
Created in 1948 by the perfumer and traveller Eric Pellerin and his wife, the Jardin de Vauville continued to expand and develop in the 1980s in the hands of Guillaume Pellerin and Cléophée de Turckheim. In 2017, it was taken over by the grandson, Eric Pellerin: a passion for botany passed down from generation to generation! Today, the Jardin de Vauville is a listed “Remarkable Garden” and is on the French Supplementary List of Historical Monuments.
