French Garden Design Emphasizes Human Control Over Nature
Symmetry, precision, and grandeur epitomize the French garden style, which reached its height during the 17th century thanks to the creative genius of André Le Nôtre. Widely considered the father of formal French garden design, Le Nôtre’s first private commission was for the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte. The result was a garden defined by a central axis running from the château to the horizon.
