Garden with 20 ornamental pavilions (7 of which can still be seen today) representing different civilizations.

Designed by François Racine de Monville, the Desert de Retz is a landscaped garden, a kind of small paradise on earth that invites contemplation. On the edge of the Marly forest, this garden, which today covers 17 hectares, is an enchantment with ornamental pavilions and 7 "fabriques" referring to different civilizations. Over the years, the site has changed ownership several times, before being classified as a Historic Monument. It is open to the public for guided or self-guided tours.

visité pour les journées du patrimoine, et heureusement, car sinon en mode payant il n'y a rien à voir , si la tour est ouverte , à la limite, mais tout est soit en ruine, soit très simple,

Visité lors des journées du patrimoine. Parc magnifique, belle ballade à faire en revanche la "Tour" ressemble à un décor de cinéma malgré sa rénovation récente.
