Bordeaux
France's Chateaux
&
Magnificent Wine Country
|
While visiting France, a visit to one of
the
truly extraordinary and beautiful castles [called
Chateaux], their gardens and parks [jardins et parcs]
are a must. A parc is not a 'Park' in the sense
that we Americans think of, but rather the grounds of the estate. The formal French gardens came into popularity when Andre
Le Notre
the famous French landscape architect [this term 'landscape architect' didn't come to pass for
a few hundred years after his time] designed the formal gardens of Vaux-le-Vicomte in the mid 17th century, and was then called
upon to design the Palace of Versailles gardens for Louis XIV. You can view the article on
Andre Le Notre
here. Enjoy the magnificent chateaux, vineyards and gardens in
France on your next river cruise visit. Visit our
Chateaux section for more
information on the Chateaux of France. View our Bordeaux Chateaux Wine
