Jardins de l'Europe d'Annecy, Public garden on the Lake Annecy shoreline in Annecy, France.

The Jardins de l'Europe d'Annecy stretches along the lake shoreline with diverse tree species, including large sequoias and other varieties suited to this region. The space is open and inviting for walking and lingering, with areas that open toward the water.

The site was a marshy island outside the city walls, held by the Lombard Asinari family as the pré Lombard. In 1563 a canal from the Thiou to the Vassé split it, and one island housed plague isolation huts. Duke Henri I of Savoy-Nemours turned it into a promenade on 17 May 1602; later the Visitation order walled it and used it as a kitchen garden. After 1835 the town bought it back, and in 1863 Henri Porreaux laid out the English garden, planting some 650 trees by January 1864.

The gardens display English landscaping with romantic design principles, reflecting how people of that era imagined ideal outdoor spaces for relaxation and strolling. You can see how nature was carefully arranged to appear natural, which was a popular idea during that period.

The gardens run along the lake between the Pont des Amours over the Vassé canal and the Île des Cygnes; the quays hold 270 mooring berths. Benches line the banks, and stone steps lead down to the wooden boardwalk and finger piers. The site is listed in the general inventory of cultural heritage.

At the garden's far end, facing the Île aux Cygnes, stands L'Unique, a multiple sundial inaugurated on 22 July 1876. The garden holds about 250 trees today, among them a ginkgo biloba, a Virginia tulip tree, Laricio pines and giant sequoias.
