It would be impossible to pass by this garden right in the middle of the Norman Bocage, on the edge of an immense forest. without being surprised by the exotic nature of its plants -Banana trees, cordylines, araucarias, palms, bamboos and many irresistible examples of topiary that have been painstakingly fashioned over the years.

A stream, quaintly called La Gloire, ("The Glory") begins its winding course nearby and its presence lends much to the charm of the place, its banks having been adorned with a tapestry of carefully chosen plants.
