Making Nature heard and simulating its sound qualities is an important aspect of garden art. This dimension is affirmed in the Renaissance where the musicality of water, wind and animal song is often emphasized, or supplemented, by various constructions: gushing fountains, aviaries of songbirds, hydraulic organs, pavilions, At the beginning of the 17th century, this musical dimension was further amplified, in France, by the vogue of theatre, «entertainment» and ballets: real sound theatres, the large gardens are also scenographic spaces where the musicality of the place is amplified by the architecture. We will consider all these aspects under the reigns of Henri IV and Louis XIII from the royal gardens of Fontainebleau and Saint-Germain-en-Laye, giving all the space they deserve to the Château Neuf, its many fountains and its caves with automatons.
