Parc et Jardin à la française du Château d'Eu

1 Rue Jean Duhornay 76260 EU / Côte d'Albâtre

On the Alabaster Coast, the park and formal French garden of the Château d’Eu offers a journey back in time. The history of the chateau started in the 17th century when La Grande Mademoiselle (the Duchess of Montpensier) became the owner and began to design the French-landscape garden. Louis-Philippe will continue her work in the 19th century and design an English-style garden behind the park as well as the ice house situated west of the French formal garden. The architect Viollet-le-Duc played a major role in modernising the site, adding new buildings and restoring the fountain.

The history of the park and the château are closely linked. It is set on the flank of a hill and has been built in terraces. In the 19th century exotic essences and conifers were introduced as a collectors curiosity. The park is largely planted with beeches, which stand side by side with the Forêt d'Eu. Historic rhododendrons. Reconstruction of the rose garden.
