Visit of Villerville - Le Parc des Graves

Coastal road

14113 VILLERVILLE

Protected and developed, the departmental natural space of the Parc des Graves offers 800 meters of pedestrian paths, benches, picnic tables, games for children and a belvedere that offers a beautiful view of the sea.
There are wild plant species, remnants of former pleasure gardens, as well as recent plantations and ponds. The "Hôtel des Graves" is now home to ducks and moorhens. The park also hosts six goats, known as "ditch goats", nicknamed "bramble eaters" for their ability to ingest all kinds of vegetation. Their objective: to clear the entire area and stop the proliferation of brambles and invasive plants on the site. More recently, five Warré beehives, inhabited by black bees from Calvados, have been installed in the park in order to participate in their repopulation.
Before being a nature reserve, the Parc des Graves was a place of habitation for about fifteen houses. In 1982, a major landslide forced the inhabitants to evacuate the area.
