The <strong data-start=\"1172\" data-end=\"1201\">Italianate Mannerist garden<\/strong> , designed by architect Paul Maymont, transports you to a verdant world where thirteen garden rooms (a grove, a green theater, a labyrinth) are revealed at every turn.

There, topiary and contemporary sculptures engage in a harmonious dialogue, offering a unique contrast between tradition and modernity. This garden, listed as a Historic Monument and designated a Remarkable Garden, also hosts sculpture exhibitions and concerts.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1932\" data-end=\"2279\"> The <strong data-start=\"1935\" data-end=\"1955\">formal garden<\/strong> , situated on the 17th-century terraces, unfolds across a sweeping, undulating landscape, while the <strong data-start=\"2046\" data-end=\"2068\">wisteria avenue<\/strong> elegantly separates the two gardens.
