Candie Gardens

[1] The Upper Gardens feature panoramic views over the islands of Herm and Sark.

[1] Two statues of note within the Upper Gardens are those of Queen Victoria and Victor Hugo.

[2] The statue of Hugo was erected in 1914, and was a gift of the French Government as thanks for the hospitality shown towards the writer during his exile on Guernsey.

[1] It was sculpted by Jean Boucher from stone, mounted on a limestone base, which, in turn, sits on a block of Jaonneuse granite.

[1][4] The Upper Gardens also feature the Guernsey Museum and an adjacent café, in the former bandstand.
