Guided tour: Meeting the trees of the Calouste Gulbenkian Park
Open from April to October, the Parc des Enclos Calouste Gulbenkian is an exceptional park, located a few minutes from the centre of Deauville in the town of Bénerville-sur-Mer. It is planted with remarkable essences and combines different atmospheres conducive to meditation, as desired by its designer Calouse Gulbenkian. The garden was designed according to his dream. The realization entrusted to the landscape architect Achille Duchêne, mixes at the same time the classical style of the French gardens with beds arranged geometrically, the more natural layout of the English gardens or the Italian style with its pointed yews and balustrades. No less than 58 species of trees are listed, including century-old linden and chestnut trees with a magnificent appearance, a black walnut and a weeping green beech.
