Parc Oriental de Maulévrier is just south of the Loire. Built in 1899 and renovated in 1987 it extends to 29 hectare Parc Oriental is well positioned on the route south from Cherbourg, via the Loire Valley, to the Pyrenees and Spain. So it’s a garden I frequently visit.Miniature pagoda at Parc Oriental de Maulévrier
Totalling 29 hectares, based around a lake, it’s more Parc than garden. But clearly a Japanese style Parc. The Parc was acquired by the municipality in 1976 , but was built in there grounds of the Chateau Colbert between 1899-1913. Under the municipality the Parc has undergone significant restoration with work commencing in 1987.Trees pruned in the Niwaki style at Parc Oriental de Maulévrier
Trying to describe such garden is almost impossible. It’s garden design beyond words. So below I include a contermplative video I made many years ago (for a totally different purpose so bear with me).
And if the Japanese Style intrigues or interests you I’ve included a new section in The Gardening Guy Bookshop on Japanese Gardens & Plants. See the slider below.
