Jardin du Tripot another pleasant surprise...too much Honfleur?

Hope I am not boring you with all these posts on Honfleur but it has so much to offer and if you haven't been I would encourage you to do so. Jardin du Tripot is an inviting urban garden space right in the heart of the historic centre of Honfleur. The garden seamlessly blends elements of history and culture with a delightful walk through a picturesque setting that embodies a sense of calm and reflection.

 

Artist Annick Leroy was commissioned to contribute a remarkable fresco made of mosaic tiles, which pays homage to the rich heritage of the local trade of the tanners and dyers that once thrived in this area. She is also responsible for the four geese and boy under the umbrella which are water features.

This relatively new garden area is somewhat tucked away behind several buildings, creating a peaceful link between three different streets and actually proved slightly difficult to find with some local residents even appearing to be unaware of its existence!

It's definitely worth seeking out and would be a lovely space in summertime to escape from the many tourists who head for this delightful area.
