Jardin de la Légion d'Honneur, Historical garden at the entrance of Saint-Malo, France.

The Jardin de la Légion d'Honneur spans 3,600 square meters and features a neo-baroque fountain surrounded by mature trees and green spaces.

Created in 1880, this garden stands on the former moats of the castle, replacing an older garden near Porte Saint-Vincent where couples would meet privately.

The garden received its name to commemorate Saint-Malo as one of twenty-one French cities decorated with the Legion of Honor after World War II.

Located at the foot of the castle facing the Tourism Office, the garden offers free entry and accommodates visitors with reduced mobility throughout the year.

The garden incorporates elements of the ancient castle moats into its design, creating a connection between modern landscaping and medieval fortifications.
