You are in the French gardens. The golden rule derived from the “Le Nôtre” school has been respected: an avenue of lime trees leads to the main courtyard on the east side of the château.

On the opposite side, the west side, a park centered on the façade develops the decorative composition with terraces, flowerbeds, green geometric carpets, trimmed yew trees, statues and vases; the whole is encompassed by a large mirror-pond which the château is reflected in.

In front of the big wall, the gardens have been completed by an orchard of apples and pears (150 trees) which won a prize in the “La rose et le fruit” competition organised by the Delbard business establishments.

The visitor should pause at the top of the stone steps which go up from the mirror-pond to contemplate the total effect.
