Chateau Vendeuvre in Calvados, Normandy - September, 2017

            Classed as a Historic Monument both for its exterior and interior, Vendeuvre is the prototype of an aristocratic norman countryside residence of the 18th century.  Created in the middle of the 18th Century and accompanying the construction of the château, the formal gardens were transformed into a large landscape garden in the 19th century.
 
The park was restored from 1970. Guy de Vendeuvre was inspired by the 18th Century plans, simplifying them and completing them with water features and topiary creations.
Behind the topiary work in the foreground is a mirror of water between lime-tree arbors; from the terrace overlooking the box borders, the fountains and the water-jets, the view extends over the meadows of the Dives valley to the hills of the Pays d'auge.
