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.

Endroit hors du temps à visiter absolument
Idéalement un jour de brouillard ou sous la neige …?

Lieu intéressant avec une histoire et certainement des passionnés dans la fondation mais je trouve trop cher 10 euros pour visiter un beau parc bien entretenu une visite du RDC d'une construction remarquable et..des 13 attractions touristiques " la plupart sont méconnaissables car en ruines .
