Vallée des Jardins, Public park in Caen, France.

Vallée des Jardins is an 11-hectare park in Caen stretching north to south through a valley. Its upper part holds an arboretum along boulevard Jean Moulin with birches, viburnums, maples and shrub roses; the middle has lawns edged by white hawthorn and elder; the lower part, backed by a limestone cliff, grows peonies and daylilies. A pale paved path curves across a grassy slope past a wooden bench and a dark cylindrical bin.

The Vallée des Jardins was laid out in 1984 on the natural meadowland of the former Vimard farm, in the southern part of Caen. The 11-hectare valley park replaced farmland and was later extended east of the avenue de Courseulles by the Sablons hillsides.

The park's name comes from its layout as a valley of successive garden zones rather than a single flowerbed. In the lower part, perennials such as peonies and daylilies grow against a limestone cliff. The upper arboretum along the boulevard holds birches, viburnums, maples and trees with decorative bark.

The park is not enclosed and stays open at all times. Main entrances are on rue des Jardins and rue de Courseulles, in the south of Caen. It runs north to south over 11 hectares, with the arboretum on the upper slope along boulevard Jean Moulin (boulevard Weygand in the Spanish source) and the perennial beds on the lower ground against the limestone cliff.

The park was laid out in 1984 on the meadows of the former Vimard farm, and its lower end is sheltered by a limestone cliff. The site runs north to south over 11 hectares, and east of the avenue de Courseulles it continues as the coteaux des Sablons.
