The highly formal design of these 17C gardens feature fountains, waterfalls and terraced flowerbeds flanking flights of steps decorated with balustrades and vases or statues. Each step reveals another surprise, from huge round lily ponds and yew trees pruned into imaginary animals to Rococo "grottoes" and allegorical statues. A camellia wood, a "natural" maze and an exotic bamboo grove further complete the enchanting landscape.
