At the beginning of the 20th century, French actress Madame Thebault had the villa ‘La Roxelane’ and its garden built on the cliff of Amont. The house and garden fell into disrepair over the years. In 2014, landscape architect Alexandre Grivko discovered the neglected complex. A year later, restoration began. It took Grivko 24 months to build hundreds of meters of walls, apply 1,000 tons of earth, build two kilometers of gravel paths and plant more than 30,000 conifers.

In 2017, the renovated Jardins d’Étretat (Étretat Gardens) reopened to the public. The garden consists of a mix of English, French and Japanese architectural styles. In this green oasis, landscape, artfully pruned shrubs and trees and modern works of art come together in a unique way. A platform offers stunning views over Étretat and the cliffs.
