Domain with fountains, marble or bronze statues, trellis cradles and topiaries

The success of Fouquet, Intendant of Finances, was so intolerable to Louis XIV that he decided to transform the hunting lodge into an estate worthy of him. He called upon those to whom the magnificence of Vaux was owed: the gardener Le Nôtre, the architect Le Vau and the decorator Le Brun. More than 25 years of work were necessary to shape what will become a world reference in terms of gardens, trianons, the Queen's Hamlet and the Water Theatre grove.

Presque aucune fleur au printemps, ce jardin est d'une tristesse...
La musique est composée de 4 titres et est diffusée sur haut parleur et tourne en boucle toute la journée. Ce qui finit par agacer.
La plupart des fontaines n'étaient pas allumées (visite le 5 avril donc aucun problème de gel, pas de vent non plus...).
Les spectacles de jet d'eau sont d'un vieillot... Il faudrait peut-être essayer de les améliorer avec des lumières par exemple.

Si vous recherchez un jardin où vous balader, préférez le parc des Seaux ou l'arboretum de Chatenay Malabry qui ne sont pas très loin.

C'est trop cool d'être là et il y a beaucoup de plantes vertes que j'adore comme l'herbe

We took a four day trip and still weren’t able to see it all. However you can rent a golf cart for EUR 40 per hour if you don’t feel like walking. But it isn’t half as fun as exploring on foot. Look out for hidden fountains and gazebos that’ll take your breath away with their size despite having to search them out.

Un peu chère avec pas mal de travaux. Prévoir bouteille d'eau
