Colline aux Oiseaux

The Colline aux Oiseaux is a park in Caen covering 17 hectares of landscaped gardens with varied plant collections arranged in themed sections throughout the grounds. The layout allows visitors to experience panoramic views of the city from multiple vantage points.

The park was established in 1988 through an urban renewal project that transformed a former landfill into public green space for the city. This conversion marked a major shift in how the site had been used previously.

Locals visit the park to connect with nature through hands-on learning experiences and gardening programs that take place regularly throughout the year. These activities have become central to how residents use and relate to this public space.

The park is open daily with morning access and varying closing times depending on the season. Well-maintained pathways throughout the grounds serve visitors of different mobility levels.

The park features a bird area and a playground where visitors can experience local wildlife and outdoor recreation. On-site dining options focus on serving food sourced from the surrounding region.
