Small but fine botanical garden

The beautiful park with rare trees, lush flowering bushes, ornate flower mosaics and plays of light is located on the site of a private garden that was laid out by Julien Rihouey since 1675. The Chateau de la Mare, the garden and the lands were owned by the Poupinel family for a long time. Jean-Jacques Quesnel de la Moriniere bought the property in 1823. In 1852 he bequeathed the property to the town of Coutances with the condition that a museum and a botanical garden be set up there for the benefit of the people.

The watercolor painter Adéle Sebastian Minel was commissioned to design the flower mosaic. Italian terraces, groups of trees in the English style, a labyrinth and water features were created. An obelisk was erected in honor of the donor. The garden was completed in 1855 as one of the first of its kind and became the "model for public gardens in Normandy during the Second Empire" in the 19th century.

In 1992 it was included in the list of national monuments of France.

The botanical garden is beautifully landscaped and impresses with its enormous variety of flowers. In the summer, concerts are held in the park twice a day.

The garden is accessible free of charge and is a little oasis!
