Domaine des Enclos, Historic park in Benerville-sur-Mer, France.

The Domaine des Enclos extends across 33 hectares of land, featuring collections of rare trees from North America and Holland along the Normandy coast.

Calouste Gulbenkian purchased the estate in 1937 and commissioned landscape architect Achille Duchêne to create gardens inspired by his visit to Spain's Retiro gardens.

The gardens maintain French classical design principles with tree-lined paths, flower beds, and dedicated spaces for outdoor concerts and art exhibitions throughout the year.

The park welcomes visitors from April to October between 2 PM and 6 PM, with adult admission at 3.50 euros and free entry for individuals under 18.

White ash and black walnut trees from North America grow alongside Dutch lime trees, creating an international botanical collection within the Normandy landscape.
