In the very end from Cotentin, against all odds, hides an incredible oasis of more than 1000 sorts(species) of plants of the southern hemisphere. Of a 4 hectare area, the Botanical gardens of Vauville are a journey at the end of the earth under Norman degrees of latitude: succession of rooms(chambers) of greenery as well different as surprising, discover the palm groves of Trachycarpus fortunei of China, the staves(moats) where sit enthroned the royal brackens of Tasmania, the impressive pond of Gunneras manicata of Brazil, the Eucalyptuses of the garden of wisdom or the scents of the exotic garden...
Thanks to the Gulf Stream, running(roaming) warmly from the Atlantic which passes off the coast(ribs) of Vauville, it pushes to it since 1948 tropiquales fascinating gasolines(essences) which knew how to become acclimated thanks to the creator of this small paradise, the botanist and perfumer Eric Pellerin. Real prowess of nature, the Botanical gardens of Vauville distinguish themselves by his(her,its) collection of plants and evergreen rare trees and offer throughout the year a panorama tints of which get married to the sea and the wild moors. More than a garden of flowers, Vauville gathers(combines) set(group) of amazing and original botanical sorts(species) every shoot of which is born in Vauville and represents a real bet of adaptation. In the tracks of the enthusiasts and gifted Guillaume Pellerin and Cléophée de Turckheim, who created the garden such as you admire it today, Eric Pellerin and Guillaume de Lestrange pursue the embellishment of this case and are happy to welcome you throughout season to share their passion with you.

Create by Eric and Nicole Pellerin in 1947, the exceptional botanical gardens of the castle of Vauville occupy more than 40 000 m ². Sheltering more than 900 sorts(species) of the southern hemisphere, the garden surrounds the castle of Vauville in a completely surprising subtropic atmosphere. Garden in perpetual evolution, fruit of a lot of work, science and passion, the botanical gardens of Vauville, in spite of a blowed site, shelters successfully many Mediterranean sorts(species) in form of a spontaneous natural garden. The most strong vegetables were massively associated to train(form) hedges(hurdles) windbreak to shelter the most delicate plants. The running water of the old(former) stream which fed the fields of origin is used in different ponds where royal crinums osmondes and aquatic plants grow without restraint. Bamboos, palm trees, phormius, brackens, gunneras in the huge sheets(leaves), accentuate the change of scenery of the visitor. In spite of violence and persistence of the winds of the West representing certain disability, the Atlantic north drift of the gulf-stream warms this northwest coast(rib) of Hague creating a climate favorable to the acclimatisation of unusual plants under this degree of latitude. In the botanical gardens of Vauville plants grow naturally, without constraints, in a visible(apparent) poetic riot. Succession of rooms(chambers) of greenery, benefiting from an original orientation, turned(shot) in 180 ° on the quite close sea, the botanical gardens of Vauville, besides a recognised scientific collection, trains(forms) the original case of the castle of Vauville, jewel of the architecture of the North Cotentin. The botanical gardens of Vauville were registered on the additional Inventory of Historic monuments in 1992\.
