Emmanuel Liais (1826 - 1900), a former mayor of Cherbourg, an astronomer, and a passionate botanist took advantage of his travels to return home with several South American and Asian plants. Between 1880 and 1893 he created a magnificent botanical garden, with greenhouses, an observatory and a lake. It is well tended and retains the character of a nineteenth century garden and is now property of the city of Cherbourg.
