Discovering the art of gardens in Favry, passion sharing

In the middle of the fields, these gardens, as anchored in the past as they are contemporary, blend so well that they give the impression of having always existed. They succeed each other, splitting the places in a mixture of themes, leading us skilfully towards a final climax....
Attached to the seigneurial dwelling, the Daedalus, graphically purified, structured by topiaries of Japan and its checkerboard play in counterpoint, leads to the ornamental orchard. On the square plan, a linear walk is inscribed around the apple trees led in cords and those domesticated in ogive on a central gloriette. The vegetable garden, punctuated by fruit trees in espalier, is guessed through the wicker claustras and willow groves that border the river A surrounding it with its artificial canes of the islands and peninsula, vegetable undulations lead to a very ordered garden. Effect of total surprise!
The charmilles, sublimated by a sculptural cut in waves scenographically baroque, draw cabinets of greenery whose undulating line cuts and intersects. The profile of the cut, its fruit, the rhythm of the undulations, the play of the curves, are a box with geometric topiaries on green carpet. Vanishing lines draw the eye to a rose garden that borders it. Declined in a palette of white, it is embedded in a cross of boxwood punctuated with topiaries and leaning against a bench of laurels from Portugal.
Far from an agreed decor, in a contrast of combed and wild, a theater of greenery was born marrying the landscape in an unexpected refinement.

À propos du lieu

Manoir et jardin de Favry
Favry, 53340 Préaux
  • Mayenne
  • Pays de la Loire
In a park, bordered by the river and surrounded by islands and peninsulas, 4 gardens have been created in a contemporary spirit and a very eclectic taste to enhance the buildings
- the Daedalus, with its topiaries and its play of checkerboards in counterpoint
- the Vegetable Garden, with its medieval grammar, its wicker screens punctuated with gazebos and occuli, its plessis
- the Ornamental Orchard, with its central gazebo trellised with domesticated apple trees
- the Jardin à la Française, with its theatre of greenery and its architectural pruning, its boxwood embroidery punctuated by a rose garden
