Jardin du Tripot

These gardens are perfect for a quiet stroll in the heart of Honfleur's historic centre. Blend history and culture with a walk along the water, which features a 'zen' area for a serene interlude. Located on an arm of the Claire, the garden has several promontories and superb views of the river. This 7,000m² urban park has been designed and developed by the various municipal services: gardeners, builders, carpenters, electricians, etc. The technical services teams used materials found on site to restore the gardens, meaning the low walls retain their original charm. The remains of former tanneries were also found during the renovation works. The specific location of these gardens was chosen so they could be by two streams. You can now admire the dye vats and a network of canals in the garden. Works by Annick Leroy The artist Annick Leroy was asked to create works inspired by this space. Michel Lamarre, Mayor of Honfleur, wanted, in a town that has inspired so many artists, to put art at the heart of this space to give it an even more soulful feel. Annick Leroy created a mosaic fresco recalling the work of the tanners and dyers that once practised their craft here. She also designed two fountain sculptures: -4 water-spouting geese - a child with an umbrella and a giant mosaic-covered snail.
