In Cambremer, Charles Lapierre represents the fifth generation of a line of passionate nursery owners. Specializing in collectible plants, he has transformed the Pépinières Botaniques de Cambremer into a vast garden. “We wanted visitors to feel at home, to see grown plants so that they can imagine themselves in their future garden.” In subtle blends of pastel hues and green, yellow, and red gradients, you’ll find maples, hydrangeas, and English roses in an ever-evolving collection. This year, viburnums are all the rage: “We sold out in days! And in 2026, we’ll add rockroses and daphnes.” Charles’s sensible approach attracts amateurs and collectors alike. “Our strengths lie in welcoming and advising our customers. And it’s so pleasant here that people don’t always come to buy but to stroll and get inspired.” The garden center is open year-round (7 days a week from spring to fall). 4.
