Baptiste Elie de Beaumont, a famous lawyer in
the Age of Enlightenment, who left the mark of
his mind and his personality on all the Canon
architecture and landscape. The domain is
listed as an Historic Monument and has been
awarded the “Remarkable Garden” label due
to the exceptional grounds with their regular
flowerbeds, wild groves and period architecture
(Chinese pavilion, Greco-Roman temple).
It is called a “transition garden”, since it was
designed both as a French-style and an English-
style garden, and abounds with a multitude
of streams, waterfalls and canals. The visit
concludes in the Chartreuses, an astonishing
series of thirteen walled gardens entirely planted
with perennial plants. This genuine open-air
greenhouse is unique in France.
On site, there is also a boutique, a tea room,
activities and fun visits for children.
