The Jardin de l’Hôtel d'Emonville (Garden of the Hôtel d'Emonville) is an Anglo-Chinese garden suitable for walking and discovering the remarkable trees that have adorned the garden since the 19th century. The garden was created by an important Abbeville family. In 1859, Arthur Foucques d'Émonville inherited this property, which had already been extensively landscaped in the style of the period. He used the garden, measuring around 1.5 hectares, to indulge his passion for horticulture. In 1861, he had an imposing private mansion built in the heart of the plot. This Jardin de l’Hôtel d'Emonville , which was awarded the ‘Remarkable Garden’ label in 2013, features a diverse range of plants: conifers, broad-leaved trees, perennials and annuals. Among the many trees, some of which are over 150 years old, are a dozen rare species.
