Le Notre designed the gardens at stepped levels as you descend from the chateau to the far end, featuring grottos and a Great Water Mirror.
As such, you are surprised with new discoveries at every approach.
Canals suddenly appear, 36 fountains and water basins, the grottos seem to sink and move as you approach – the classic 17th Century illusions are astonishing as we walk the 5,900 feet to the end of the garden.
