A visit to the Jardins du Montmarin begins with the main vista of the house and a French formal-style garden which sweeps down to a Bay on the River Rance. The chateau with its park and gardens, built as the summer residence of a rich ship-owner, is a listed historic monument.
Wander the gardens at your own pace where you will discover a majestic Magnolia grandiflora and a rare stand of Ginkgo biloba. The iconic plant of Montmarin, the agapanthus, can be seen in abundance. A rockery, originally built in 1920 and restored in 2011, contains a large collection of exotic plants.
Guided tours of the gardens are also available.
