With guided or unusual tours, gourmet breaks and events of all kinds, come and discover a passion for nature!
A park emblematic of Anglo-Chinese gardens, the Domaine Départemental de Méréville was part of the boom in picturesque gardens at the end of the Age of Enlightenment. It reveals the new aesthetic that was sweeping Europe at the time, marking a break with the regular gardens created by English landscape gardener Thomas Blaikie for the Duke of Harcourt.
From the river, to the fabriques, to the riprap, this exceptional garden tells the story of man's relationship with sublime nature. The estate is also famous for its Chinese pavilion, listed as a historic monument in 1946. The estate went through a period of decline, damaged after the French Revolution, but was restored during the 20th century.
