The sections of the garden, recall the architectural intervention of man, order and symmetry, so in vogue in 500 where the simplicity of the gardens privileged architecture, mythology and links with the classical world. The main axis is the avenue of espalier-pruned lime trees, surrounded by four parterres delimited by spherical bus, leads to the manor house. This long avenue is flanked on one side by numerous varieties of climbing roses, which run along the vaults of the ancient stable.
