About Bird Hill Park
The Parc de la Colline aux Oiseaux is a remarkable 17-hectare urban park created in 1994 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the D-Day Normandy landings, remarkably transformed from a former municipal landfill into a stunning floral paradise. The park's centerpiece is its magnificent rose garden featuring over 15,000 roses across 570 varieties, spanning from medieval times to modern cultivars. Visitors can explore themed gardens including a plant maze, gardens representing French cities, international twin cities, perennial collections, and gardens of the world.

The rose garden requires over 3,000 hours of annual maintenance by Caen's horticultural team, making it one of the most labor-intensive garden collections in Normandy. Each of the 570 rose varieties is carefully labeled with its origin and historical period, creating a living timeline of rose cultivation from medieval monastery gardens to modern hybrid tea roses.
