Jardin du Tripot

This space is an invitation to stroll, a haven of tranquillity right in the heart of Honfleur's historic centre.
A blend of history, culture and strolls along the water’s edge, with a Zen feel that inspires serenity.

Situated on a branch of the River Claire, the garden features a number of promontories and vantage points overlooking the waterway, all of which are showcased to maximum effect.
This 7,000m² urban park was designed and laid out by various municipal departments: gardeners, masons, carpenters, electricians, etc. The technical services teams were careful to re-use materials found on site to carry out the restorations, so the low walls retain a vestige appearance.
During the renovation work, the remains of the old tanneries were uncovered. This activity was set up in this location to take advantage of the two rivers.
You can now admire the dyers’ vats and a whole network of canals in the garden.

The works of Annick Leroy
The artist Annick Leroy has been asked to create works of art that relate to the site. In a town that has inspired so many artists, Michel Lamarre, the Mayor of Honfleur, wanted to put art at the heart of the area to give it an extra soul.
So Annick Leroy created a mosaic fresco recalling the work of the guild of tanners and dyers.
She also designed two fountain sculptures:
-4 geese spitting water
-a child with an umbrella
and a giant snail covered in mosaic.
