The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Jardin pittoresque avec des canaux et un lac qui présente trois petites îles au centre. Une partie du jardin fut transformée en une vallée remplie de rochers. Un belvédère complète l'ensemble, offrant une vue panoramique des jardins. En 1897, le Bel Esnault a été vendu et la moitié du parc transformée en pâturages. A ce jour, seule une partie du jardin a conservé toutes ses structures et demeure étonnamment pittoresque et rare en Basse-Normandie.

History
Picturesque garden with canals and a lake which presents three small islands at the centre. Part of the garden was transformed into a valley filled with rocks. A belvedere completes the ensemble, offering a panoramic view of the gardens. In 1897, the Bel Esnault was sold and half of the park transformed into pastures. To this day, only part of the garden has retained all its structures and remains remarkably picturesque and rare in Basse-Normandie.
