  This guide to garden design provides the reader with a tour of more than 30 of France's most beautiful gardens. They range in size from enormous estates to tiny urban oases, showing the diversity of gardening styles that exists within France. Some subtly reflect their surroundings, others are geometric in plan; some show a strong English influence or are guided by colour harmonies, while others simply exude their owners' love of cultivating plants.
