Come and discover the best series of “garden fashions”. A park in four seasons, on 115 hectares: around the castle<\/a>, the French garden of Le N\u00f4tre<\/strong> with its Grand Canal, grandiose perspectives\u2026, the Petit Parc<\/strong> from the early 18th century, the Anglo-Chinese garden<\/strong>, around the Hameau, at the end of the 18th century, and the English garden<\/strong> from the 19th century with its romantic follies, statues and fake ruins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This visit offers you a unique testimony of the relationship between man and nature for more than three centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Great Garden of Le N\u00f4tre<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The large French-style parterre of the Ch\u00e2teau de Chantilly was designed at the end of the 17th century by Andr\u00e9 Le N\u00f4tre<\/strong>, gardener of Versailles, for Louis II de Bourbon, Prince de Cond\u00e9<\/strong>.
It offers the most admirable views of the visit with its vast water mirrors <\/strong>reflecting the sky, its numerous water jets<\/strong> and fountains<\/strong> as well as an exceptional set of statues<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n \n

The French garden is characterized by a geometrical layout<\/strong>, often symmetrical, consisting of parterres, groves and basins, dotted with statues and animated by fairy-tale water features. It symbolizes the triumph of culture over wild nature, of order over disorder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The English Garden<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the contrary, the English garden offers the first role to nature<\/strong>. Here, it was designed during the Restoration, in 1819, by the architect Victor Dubois for Prince Louis-Joseph de Bourbon-Cond\u00e9. This English garden draws its inspiration from the romanticism<\/strong> dear to Jean-Jacques Rousseau for whom the art of gardens should allow meditation and fulfillment in nature. Factories<\/strong> such as the Temple of Venus, the Island of Love, the Grotto and Swan Lake are there to take visitors back to the times of the ancient philosophers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
