Château et jardins à la Française de Vaire-le-Grand
10, rue de Charmont 25220 Vaire-Arcier
- Doubs
- Bourgogne-Franche-Comté
Elevés in 1713 on an exceptional site, the castle and the garden of Vaire-le-Grand, overhanging the valley of the Doubs, establish(constitute) a remarkable evidence of the art of the French-style gardens of the XVIIIth century, alloying architecture and plant composition. The garden, of a big(great) rigour of composition, rises in terraces in terraces learnedly conceived(designed) to give phantasm to include the surrounding countryside and so to come down(fall) to the Doubs. Here and there rooms of greenery, cut yews, gone coverings, ponds and fountains are discovered to it. The park also shelters the vestiges of the Gallo-Roman aqueduct which supplied Besançon with drinking water in Antiquity as well as the vestiges of old(former) factories, a powder mill and a stationery.
