The Hanging Gardens

On the cliff, overlooking the Baie de Seine,
the Fort of Sainte-Adresse, monument of the mid 19th century, is starting a second life.

The buildings, turned into “hanging gardens” are dedicated to nature and the environment. The place
shelters an arboretum and the municipal greenhouses.

This is the perfect place to go for a pleasant stroll since it provides one of the best panoramas on the sea.
