Château de Courances

Courance is described, with justice, as 'one of the lovliest gardens in France'. The moated chateau, some axial lines and a superb entrance avenue of plane trees survive from the seveneenth century layout, which was otherwise dull. The owner was guillotined during the French Revolution. The park was adapted to the English style. The chateau was abandonned for 40 years. Achille Duchene (see page ..) worked on the estate in the years before the First World War and the garden was not so much 're...

Chateau de Vaux-le-Vicomte

Chateau de Vaux-le-Vicomte

The most elegant and geometrically harmonious of all high Baroque gardens. Vaux was designed, before Versailles, by Andre le Nôtre and Louis II le Vau. The composition is perfectly proportioned and soothingly harmonious, with the gardens organised on a central axis. The axial principle derives from Bramante and was recommended by Andre Mollet. At Vaux, the axis passes through parterres, over basins of water, and into forests. Brilliant use of the landform allows many surprises. Yet the ...

katewoods : "So i was critizised because I was neglecting Le Nôtre, so now i'm gonna focus on him. He's really good, i like to walk in his parks to think, no distraction, everything clear... but once you want to have a drink there, it's not very homely."

Bagatelle - Bois de Boulogne - Paris

Bagatelle - Bois de Boulogne - Paris

In 1937, the Seine region bought the rosary at L'Haye les Roses and subsequently, most of the species and old roses were moved from Bagatelle. The role of the two rosaries has been redefined: an old roses conservatory in L'Haye; a rosary to show the evolution and the future of the rose in Bagatelle.

The Indian Peafowl

The Indian Peafowl

The Peafowl is considered a divine creature in Indian mythology, especially as the vahana (carriage) of Kartikeya, son of Lord Shiva and army commander of all the gods. It is also said that at one time when the gods took the form of various birds, Devraj Indra chose the finest form, that of a peacock, and ever since, whenever Indra brings rain on earth, all the peacocks dance in joy and merriment--a sight to behold, meant for the gods. Lord Krishna's association with the peafowl...

katewoods : "Well, what this article doesn't tell you is that an Indian Peafowl is also a representation of Hera, which makes sense because Marie Antoinette was the queen of kings. That's why you meet this animal in Bagatelle."

katewoods : "So I asked one friend who was there what did he think of the park. He told me it was a "jardin à l'anglaise" that you walked from closed and shadowy spaces to open laws with enormous trees. There was a place where you could find thousands of different roses. And while you were walking you could meet some indian peafowls. "
