Jardins du Château de la Ballue

Situated between Antrain and Bazouges-La-Pérouse, the Jardin de La Ballue is in fact a huge labyrinth. At first you might find this place austere, but you’ll end up being surprised by these enchanted gardens. In fact, this garden holds many surprises: from mysterious grove to musical grove, not forgetting the fragranced grove, the open air theatre or ‘the temple of Diana’…The different green rooms create a variety of surprising scenes further enhanced by the visual effects of the ever changing light. Separated from the classical garden by an alley of wisteria trailing over yew columns, the gardens were created by the architects François-Hébert Stevens and Paul Maymont in the pure mannerist style, a Renaissance movement that aimed to inspire emotions in the visitor.
