1905, The actress Mrs Thébault became the owner of a Belle Époque villa
built on the Amont cliff in Étretat.
She called the house "Villa Roxelane"
located in a 4000m2 parc.
The landscape architect Auguste Lecanu helped her to arrange the garden.


Claude Monet was a friend of Mrs Thebault
and he came to her garden on may occasions
to paint the cliffs of Etretat.
The painting "Sunset at Etretat" was painted from the property.



A vine scupture in the garden pays homage to Claude Monet.


2017, the Russian architect Alexandre Grivka buys the property with the idea
to open the garden to the public.
