    What an unexpected treat. I think this wonderful coast, cliffs, garden and the sculptures are amazing on a blustery day. Dynamic. Meditative. Thank you, Leon.

    Another triumph. Atmospheric and beautiful and, as always, the music was apt and well chosen. I wonder how the artist/sculptor got the faces so smooth. Thanks and respect to the people who keep the garden so immaculate and bring happiness and thoughtfulness to those who are lucky enough to visit. Of course thanks and respect also to you Leon for taking us there. I will be in beautiful North Yorkshire when I watch the next LEONSDAY ……..

      It was worth the steep climb fighting the wind - a great calm over the gardens despite the wind.
      Enjoy North Yorkshire Pamela 🤗💖🤗

    Many thanks for braving the weather to make this video Leon. The gardens of Etretat are on my bucket list of places to visit in France. 😊

      @@johnoleary528 it was well worth it. John, I highly recommend a visit to the gardens - I did not show all the artworks from across the world, touching on different nature themes. And of course the stunning views from up there!

    What a garden! It does look so serene and quiet. I would set in that white chair swing for a while, just enjoying the surroundings. Thank you.

      @RuralFranceJournals have a great weekend. Keep an eye on the weather report in your area. Hurricane Milton is on its way. Don't know where he will hit but it will be France, or Portugal, or Spain. Florida was hit pretty bad. Even Disney World didn't escape it. Stay safe my friend.

    Magnifique! That monument reminds me of the needle formation off in the sea ( no doubt intentionally). Have you been to those gardens -or similar ones - before? I seem to remember the hedges and how much upkeep would be needed to keep them trimmed like that. Regardless, they are beautiful. Just like your videos: an artist putting a lot of time and effort so that we can enjoy them. 😊

      @@I_like_pears thank you - you probably thought of the sculpted gardens of Marquissac near Sarlat I visited some time ago. Very similar but also very different.
      I think the monument does remind one of the needle at sea although the main aim was to show the direction of the intended flight.
      Have a good weekend 🤗🙂🤗
