Product Description

France's most beautiful public and private gardens open their gates to us in every season of the year: from the classical French palace gardens at Vaux-le-Vicomte down to humble domestic gardens in Normandy, from stylized Zen gardens in Provence to cactus displays on the Cote d'Azur. The typical plants of each climatic region are represented - delphiniums, roses and mirises in the North, and Californian poppies, santolinas, and lavender in the Midi. This book is a source of inspiration for all lovers of gardens and nature as well as anyone travelling to France. Most of these gardens are open to the public and provide an astonishing feast for the eyes.

Customer Reviews

A bit boring but cheap and cheerful
Reproductions are a bit over saturated and hence the photography is uninspiring.
The gardens themselves are all a bit fussy and formal for my taste.
