The park and gardens of the Château of Azay-le-Ferron: order and fantasy in a French-style garden and an English-style park
French or English style? Why not both? At the heart of the Brenne Regional Natural Park, the meticulously designed park and gardens of the Château of Azay-le-Ferron comprise 25 hectares of verdant plant life. From the park (which was redesigned in the 19th century by the famous Bülher brothers) to the Flower Garden, paths and walkways provide ample opportunity for a peaceful stroll.

The elegance of a French-style garden
In the French-style garden, yews are ordered and trimmed with such precision they almost look like giant chess pieces. On the lawns, topiary bushes grow in a range of elegant shapes. Conical, rounded and tiered, they are a testimony the gardeners’ skill!
The English-style park
The English-style park exudes a sense of freedom, peace and serenity and seems to grow randomly. However, beneath its appearance, the exacting meticulousness with which it was designed secretly contributes to the overall sense of liberty. The 100-year-old trees, for example, were carefully planted to provide views that irresistibly draw the eye.

Near the château, visitors can stroll along the paths in the Flower Garden, home to a large collection of roses, before crossing the orchard and discovering the vines growing against the château’s surrounding wall.
