Les Jardins du Pays d'Auge

About

Les Jardins du Pays d'Auge are a sprawling 4‑hectare showcase of Norman horticulture, nestled in the heart of Calvados. From the moment you step through the historic farmhouse gates, you encounter a rainbow of themed paradises – from the secretive Jardin du Diable to the dream‑like Jardin des Anges, from the fragrant Jardin des Senteurs to the vibrant rose garden. The estate’s traditional timber‑framed pavilions and well‑mannered hedgerows echo the region’s pastoral heritage, while the modern virtual tours and photo galleries let you preview each section before you arrive. With free entry for children under five, a modest adult admission fee, and a variety of family‑friendly activities throughout the day, the gardens offer a serene escape for nature lovers, students, and groups of friends alike. Operating from 12:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. during the summer months, the gardens welcome visitors every day, including weekends. On select days in early October they open slightly later, from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. and close unexpectedly for maintenance after September 30. The average visit lasts about two hours, giving ample time to stroll, photograph, and soak in the restorative greenery. Whether you’re looking for a quiet weekend walk, a picturesque backdrop for a family gathering, or an educational outing that showcases local flora, Les Jardins du Pays d'Auge delivers an enchanting blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage that delights all ages.
