The Park of Bosmelet Château is located in the heart of the Pays de Caux, near Auffay. Around this Château, listed a Historic Monument that exemplifies Louis XIII architecture, stretches a 2.5 acre park designed by Colinet, Le Nôtre's head gardener. The park is planted with numerous remarkable trees including four five-hundred-year-old chestnuts and a three-hundred year old lime tree avenue long of 2.5 km, considered as one of longest ones in Europe! The park is also home to a vegetable garden planted with many varieties of fruits, vegetables and flowers.
The park was designed in 1715 by Colinet to integrate the Louis XIII period chateau in the surrounding countryside. The vegetable garden harbours plants that mix vegetables and flowers in a carefully mastered explosion of colour.
