LE PARC D’ARNAGA

One of the most beautiful sites in the Basque Country, a garden designed by Rostand in Cambo-les-Bains.
This park is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful sites in the Basque Country. The Jardins d'Arnaga are over 110 years old. The reason for this magnificent achievement is that Edmond Rostand, author of Cyrano de Bergerac, fell in love with the place. He had his dream house built here, and around it, a Versailles-style formal garden with flowerbeds, pergolas and water features. The garden was designed by Rostand himself and laid out in impressive symmetry, surrounded by pruned boxwood, through hydrangea avenues and parkland. Rumor has it that the peacocks, ducks, hens and turkeys frolicking happily in the park served as inspiration for the poet's play Chantecler, written in 1910. Behind a small gate lies an English-style garden. Extensive restoration work, completed in 2014, is restoring the gardens to their former glory. Thanks to period documents, the original lines and decorations are back, the poets' corner has been rebuilt, the kilometers of sheaths have been concealed, and the original topiaries have returned... In this exceptional site, you'll discover several themed gardens - at the entrance, an alpine garden, with its staging of rocky screes, a pleasure wood, which extends over the slopes of the estate, a large formal garden that occupies the entire plateau, an English garden at the end of the spur, and finally the spectacular water mirror to reflect the house! To discover.
