Castel Vendon is a rock which has a singular shape. In 1792, a treasure was discovered buried at its foot. It was a terracotta vase containing coins from the High Roman Empire. The rock was painted by Jean-François Millet, a local artist who lived nearby. Part of his work can be seen in the Thomas Henry museum in Cherbourg.

A legacy of the 19th century, the parks and gardens of Cherbourg-en-Cotentin bear witness to the botanical wealth of the world thanks to the exotic varieties brought back at that time by sailors and travelers. Created in 1887 on the site of a former hermitage, the public garden of the delegated municipality of Cherbourg-Octeville offers passers-by a place of relaxation to enjoy the beauties of nature. Over time around the bandstand, the garden has been enriched with new species, an animal park, statues and water features, numerous children's games, and recently a rose garden which has several dozen rare species. Dogs are prohibited in the park.

The young JF Millet loved this place very much, we find Castel Vendon on several of his works

This park is a botanical treasure. It is a nod to travelers and explorers who returned to port with all kinds of exotic plants. The greenhouse is a highlight of these beautiful gardens.
