The "Hanging Gardens" occupy the old Fort de Sainte-Adresse on the clifftop above the city, with panoramic views over the Seine estuary and the English Channel. The gardens are divided into thematic sections — Mediterranean, Japanese, kitchen garden — and are beautifully maintained. On a clear day you can see the chalk cliffs of the Côte d'Albâtre stretching north toward Étretat.
The adjacent village of Sainte-Adresse is where Monet lived with his family during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–71 and painted several of his most celebrated early works, including "Regatta at Sainte-Adresse."
