Jardin de la Légion d'Honneur, Historical garden at the entrance of Saint-Malo, France.
The Jardin de la Légion d'Honneur is a garden at the entrance of Saint-Malo featuring a neo-baroque fountain surrounded by mature trees and green open spaces. The layout includes several pathways and planted areas that create different zones for visitors to explore and rest.
The garden was created in 1880 on the grounds of the former castle moats. This location replaced an older garden that once stood near the Saint-Vincent gate, where couples would gather privately.
The garden takes its name to honor Saint-Malo, which received the Legion of Honor decoration after World War II as one of twenty-one French cities. This recognition is commemorated through the garden's official name and remains part of how locals remember their city's past.
The garden sits at the base of the castle facing the Tourism Office and is free to enter throughout the year. The space is fully accessible for visitors with reduced mobility in all areas.
The garden incorporates visible remains of the medieval castle fortification into its landscape design in an integrated way. This blend of historical defensive structures with modern garden planning gives the place its distinctive character.
