Created between 1852 and 1855, the Coutances Botanical Garden is one of the oldest in Normandy. The harmonious combination of French symmetrical borders, English-style tree groups, and Italianate terraces invites you to stroll, relax, and dream.

The old guardhouse, built on Mont Doville during the Ancien Régime, served as a military camp. The building has been a listed building since 1992.

The musée Quesnel-Morinière on the right is housed in a former mansion on an estate bequeathed to the city in 1852. According to the provisions of the will, the city was to make it a "public park where medicinal plants for the use of the poor were to be grown". Remarkably, the city council asked a retired naval officer, Adel Sébastien Minel, to redesign the site, which was quite hilly at the time, and, it must be said, the inexperienced landscape gardener successfully completed the assignment. It is wonderful to walk through the terraced garden with conifers and the labyrinth of spirally planted hornbeams. To the left of the park is another 18th century cider apple press.
