Classical French gardens consist of beautifully clipped parterres and mazes of structured boxwood hedges. Numerous magnificent water features are also common to gardens found in France today. The recurrent theme is the beauty of symmetry.
In our French Garden, you will find two types of parterres, one in the shape of a butterfly or "papillon" at the entrance to the garden and one in the shape of the sun. The French Fountain in the Gardens of the World is a replica of one found at Versailles.
