Description
François-Frédéric Lemot's imagination was the inspiration for the magnificent setting of the Garenne Lemot estate in the early 19th century. In the heart of a 13-hectare wood, the renowned sculptor built a Tuscan-style house and a neoclassical villa. He added ornamental structures (statues, grottoes, columns, tombs, etc.) to this plant-laden landscape to punctuate the walk.
The park is open all year round, free of charge.
From February to December, the Maison du Jardinier hosts a permanent exhibition entitled "François Frédéric Lemot's Italian Dream". This scenographic tour sheds light on the creation of the estate, an extraordinary picturesque landscape.
For self-guided tours of the grounds, brochures are available from the Maison du Jardinier gift shop.
Heritage mediators will accompany you on an in-depth tour of the site and its factories.
During the school holidays, there are family workshops to help develop the creativity and curiosity of parents and children alike!
