After the French garden, visitors can admire the courtyard in classical style and, after passing through the gate of honour, they are invited to walk around the castle along the square pigeon-house, the orangery and the farm buildings. Then, taking the paths of tilleuls in quinconce, they will discover the north facade in pure Louis XV style and its double-revolution staircase. Finally, they will join the honor grid by passing below the kitchen wing.

À propos du lieu

Parc et jardin du château de Donjeux

Château de Donjeux, Donjeux, Haute-Marne, Grand Est

Three railings(bars) richly adorned with jars on fire(light) and with baskets of fruits open on this rare French-style garden in hollow, maybe established in the staves(moats) of the old(former) fortified castle. As in the kitchen garden of the King, the high walls protect from the wind and trap the heat which, at night, will be restored to the fragile buds. Banisters and staircases of access frame(supervise) two small vaulted discounts(deliveries).
