About Hanging Gardens
The Jardins Suspendus (Hanging Gardens) is a stunning 17-hectare botanical garden set within a 19th-century military fort overlooking Le Havre and the English Channel. Built between 1854-1858 to defend the harbor, the fort was transformed into a world-class botanical garden in 2008, named after the legendary Hanging Gardens of Babylon due to its terraced layout. Visitors can explore four thematic gardens representing North American, East Asian, Southern Hemisphere, and contemporary botanical collections, featuring over 4,000 plant varieties across five continents.
