Gardens to visit in France

Formal, informal and specialist gardens in France

Garden at Chateau Ansouis There are many gardens to visit in France, often with their own Chateau - sometimes very much in "style anglais". The main problem is that they are often difficult to find and opening hours tend to be very varied. We list a selection here - let us know if you find others. More being added every month.
