Parc d'Emonville

Parc d'Emonville, Municipal park in Abbeville, France

Parc d'Emonville is a public garden in central Abbeville, next to the Carmel garden. Its southern part is flat, with two flowered lawns, a pond with winding banks, a weeping birch and a Magnolia soulangeana, plus a perennial collection covering over 1,000 m² against a wall. The northern part, on a slope edge, is organised around a large water body crossed by a bridge.

The grounds belonged to the Benedictine priory of Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul and were declared national property during the Revolution. In the 19th century they passed to Arthur Foucques d'Emonville (1810-1880), a botanist and camellia collector. In 1861 he had Lefuel build the hôtel d'Emonville on the site of the old abbatial lodging, plus a greenhouse over 33 m long. After his death the estate was sold to the city; after World War II the hôtel became the municipal library and the grounds a public garden.

Lead statues of Apollo, Mercury, and Diana inspired by Jean de Bologne are scattered throughout the grounds as part of the artistic collection. Visitors encounter these sculptures while walking among the planted areas.

The park lies in Abbeville's town centre, next to the Carmel garden, and is reached from the hôtel d'Émonville, now the municipal library. The flat southern part holds two flowered lawns, a winding-edged pool and a perennial border over 1,000 m²; the northern part sits on a slope edge around a large water body crossed by a bridge.

A 19th-century greenhouse was dedicated to growing camellias, a flowering plant that was uncommon in northern France at that time. The collection demonstrated the owner's ambition to nurture rare botanical specimens.
