Near Paris, Courances is one of the most beautiful gardens in France and lives in a Louis XIII castle, classified as a historical monument. The park of Courances as the castle are in the image of the different eras and owners who shaped them. Thus coexist harmoniously a water garden of the Renaissance, a classical park «à la française» and a Japanese garden. The whole is fed by 14 sources and punctuated by 17 pieces of water.
This park of surprising beauty, classic and romantic, historic and contemporary, has an atmosphere both intimate and grandiose. The omnipresence of "running" waters, vegetation and stone in this landscape of 86 hectares whose creation dates back to the sixteenth century is a unique spectacle. Games of nature and water, perspectives and scales, spectacular reflections and secret sources, shades of green and colors, Courances reconciles the idea of rigor with that of freedom.
The guided tour of the park invites you to discover the richness and beauty of this garden, with a grandiose and intimate atmosphere, between lines and perspectives, reflections and colors.
